Title

feat(special): add Special:LonelyPages report page

Summary

• add an HTML Special:LonelyPages report at /wiki/special/lonelypages/
• list the current orphaned articles from the same lonely-pages ranking used by lonelypages.json
• include each orphan’s summary and published outbound-reference count so editors can distinguish true dead ends from pages that still link out
• add sitemap / special-page share metadata coverage for the new route
• extend the existing lonely-pages regression check to verify the built HTML report, row order, and sitemap discovery

Change Type

• Bug fix
• New feature
• Breaking change
• Documentation update

Real behavior proof

Before

• https://taopedia.org/wiki/special/lonelypages returns the site 404 page even though lonelypages.json already exists as a machine-readable maintenance report

After

• /wiki/special/lonelypages/ renders a browsable orphaned-articles report page instead of falling through to 404
• the page uses the same orphan ranking as lonelypages.json and exposes each article’s outbound reference count inline

Visual evidence

Special:LonelyPages

• URL: /wiki/special/lonelypages/
• Viewport: 1280px wide
• Expected before behavior: the route falls through to the generic 404 page
• Expected after behavior: the route renders the Lonely pages report with the orphaned article list and outbound reference counts

After:
