Nice technical page, but I must ask is there any use for it? At least for me this seems quite useless, causing hinder rather than help. –Kapteeni Ruoska (talk) 06:11, 7 September 2016 (CEST)

I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing. When I'm browsing through the list it's easier to click these links than copy pasting the auto-generated titles from the api query.

Sure, just wondering, as the wiki already has Special:AllPages, but perhaps there is a use for that. –Kapteeni Ruoska (talk) 07:27, 8 September 2016 (CEST)

Special:AllPages felt too clumsy for me to navigate. All I really wanted was a single list of all nonredirect links :)
