Wantedpages is empty

Hi,

I installed MediaWiki 1.2.4 a few days ago, and it is very impressive, but
I have a question that I don't seem to be able to find the answer
to.

My Special:Wantedpages page is empty even though I know I have
broken links in some of my pages. I can see them in the brokenlinks
table. Is there something I should do to populate Wantedpages?

My wiki is new and will probably always be fairly small so I don't
think it will be a performance problem to enable Wantedpages.
Anyway, I'd like to know how, even if I don't use it!

I googled a bit and found references to a rebuildlinks.php script.
I tried running that (after taking a backup), but it says "Can't use
command-line utils with in-place install yet, sorry.", so I assume
that is not the correct thing to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

Brion pointed out on IRC that pages only show up here when there are
two or more links to them.

So, that solves that, but I was wondering, is there an easy way to
alter that number (to one for example)?

In SpecialWantedpages.php change:
"FROM brokenlinks GROUP BY bl_to HAVING nlinks > 1 " .
to:
"FROM brokenlinks GROUP BY bl_to HAVING nlinks >= 1 " .

Should do it.
