How can old pages be identified in MediaWiki

Question

Is there any way to list pages that have not been updated for a long time in MediaWiki? Is there an extension or other functionality to do this?

Ideally I'd like to be able to e.g. list all pages that have not been updated for 12 months (ie based on last edit). They are then by default considered old (could even add a tag - an {{Old}} template - to the top of the page to flag it).

Answer 1

Yes there is, more or less; go into the "special pages" (menu on the left) and you'll find the list of oldest pages.

Answer 2

Have a look at the MediaWiki API at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API

Using the API it is possible to run commands like this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges which would return the recent changes.
