Request to add option to show/hide files from a repository on Special:WantedFiles
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Hi, i want to request a toggle or button to show/hide the files from any repository in Special:WantedFiles.
The page Special:WantedFIles, like this one: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:WantedFiles
Shows this message at the top:
The following files are used but do not exist. Files from foreign repositories may be listed despite existing. Any such false positives will be struck out. Additionally, pages that embed files that do not exist are listed in Category:Pages with broken file links.

This means that struck out files are perfectly fine. They exist and is a false positive of the page. As you can see on the link, Special:WantedFiles can be full with Struck out files. And the system is already identifying them. Why don't go a step further and allow that titles to be hidden when clicking a button.

That way, the users could see what names of files are actually redlinks with no file. I want an option to show only the redlinks on my wiki, so that way i know i need to upload them, or fix the typo in the name, or any other thing related with the titles of the files.

To my knowledge, this isn't possible with MediaWiki. Apologies.
