At Wikisource we do a lot of work proofreading in our Page: ns, with the pages being "held together" by an overarching page in the Index: namespace. Principally the text gets proofread and the validated in the Page: pages and later transcluded into the main namespace (our presentation layer). A transclusion can be a part of a page, a whole page, or a series of pages depending on the work being reproduced, and how we are choosing to present it.
What I would like to do per work is to determine which pages are and which are not transcluded a yes/no answer, rather than to know to where the page is transcluded. At the moment, my only means to determine if a page is trancluded is to individually check each page via WhatLinksHere, and I am looking for an easier way to determine the Y/N answer, so I am looking for an easy way to dynamically determine this for a series of pages. Ultimately my ideal outcome is to have a link on the Index: page that could easily show which pages are and which pages are not transcluded. I know what I want, however, I no idea to get either the API to work for me, or to work out how to do it for a series of pages. Hence I am here to ask for some guidance and assistance.
