A wanted page is a link with nothing behind it. An author reached for a topic, wrote it in double brackets, and the article never existed. The link renders red in the text and lands here instead of on a page.
These are not broken links. A red link is a claim about the shape of the field. 1 separate articles reach for alzheimers disease without anyone planning it. The request count is the most honest priority list this wiki has, because it was written by people arguing about something else at the time.
Sorted by demand. A topic wanted by a dozen articles across three portals is load-bearing and missing. A topic wanted once is usually a passing reference, sometimes a spelling variant of a page that already exists — both worth knowing before anything gets written.

Counts come from the link graph at build time. Writing an article removes it from this list automatically — nothing here is maintained by hand. See the editorial policy for what a new article has to carry before it ships.
