Problem Description

As more and more models come out in new versions, we don't want to support all of them because it clutters OWUI and hence, we want to let go of older versions.
However, as everybody can create a custom model, we don't want these to break because we removed their model. Going through 50 custom models is also a pain I'm not willing to do.

Desired Solution you'd like

It would be sufficient for a start to get a statistics overview of the used base models in custom models. For example, on the bottom of the Admin>Models page a simple statistic of how many custom models use this model.
On a click on it, I would like to see which models use a given base model, so that I can go in and update the model if appropriate.

Alternatives Considered

I could write a script that does this for me using the API but I think it would be more beneficial for non-tech admins to have it in the admin pane as UI.

Additional Context

No response

Adding onto this, it would be helpful to see at a glance which workspace models are orphaned because their base model has been deleted or is unreachable at the time of viewing the Models page in the workspace. A simple indicator, such as a red “orphan” badge next to the model name in the workspace list would let me know immediately which items need re-linking or cleaned up without having to open each one and check its lineage manually.
