Lack of easily filled gaps

There are many gaps, and fun gaps still there, but perhaps there should be a list of simple topic articles which users could work to create (or expand). Of course, the days are over of creating "Yellow Submarine" and just writing, "It's a Beatles song...", However, I recently created the standard oven temperatures "en:slow oven" and ("moderate oven" & "hot oven" and such) which had never existed despite 10 years of Wikipedia growth! This was another accidental, unbelievable discovery when working on complex concerns about temperature conversions, and I realized, "OMG, there were no articles for these simple oven terms?". I had a source document with a complete table of oven phrases, so I created article "en:Oven temperatures" with a wikitable and directed "slow oven" (etc.) to that page. In fact, it could be expanded for ovens used in pottery glazing or glass-blowing (etc.) That is a simple example of creating 10 articles about a fun easy subject. Since many fun topics are missing, by the thousands, but not every phrase someone ponders will be missing, then I guess we should create a long list of those, as some easy pages for users to write. There is no need to create so many early Persian poets of the 12-13th century, or baseball players from 1890 (probably all 3,000? already created anyway). However, many topics of general interest are still missing, by the thousands. Also, in general, the bare minimum text for a page has been set to a higher standard for a stub page, so the fun is not "careless lazy fun".

I don't know if that was proposed elsewhere, but some kind of easy tool for newbies to find out how they can help could be a good idea. Something like a tool where you tick your areas of interest and whether you like to create new article or you prefer to enhance thinks and that base on the choice it propose a random list of missing articles or of stubs or articles to be reviewed ?

w:en:Special:WhatLinksHere/Oven_temperatures shows only 5 redirects and 1 list linking to that page. Your OMG might have worked for you, but for the general audience it is neither comparable to "sun" nor to "orange juice".
