So, I was looking at the Legendary Badfics page on the wiki, and found that a lot of the example entries had no missions listed. Could someone take a look?

I can't speak for all of them at the moment (am at work), but "Blood Raining Night" absolutely has a mission linked from its page. I should know: I wrote both. {= P
I'll grant that it's not super-apparent on mobile if you don't read the whole page, so that might bear addressing, but also do please read things closely before judging them, aye?

Yeah, most of the articles are pretty complete except for "Chibiusa's Seventh Birthday" and "My Inner Life". However, that's because I created those pages and have not had a bad enough day yet to actually read those fanfics. One day I'll get around to it. Anyways, I should have checked out the articles first. You know what? Today's that day. Also, you have my condolences. These things are absolutely terrible. I feel bad for anyone who reads them.

While it’s fine to claim a Legendary, it’s also generally recommended a newbie write a couple missions that aren’t to Legendaries before they tackle the Legendary. This is so the rest of us really know you understand the setting and how missions work. Think of it as a final boss in a video game — you don’t take that on until you’ve taken out easier bosses.
The fic isn’t going to go anywhere, and Legendaries as a whole are, as mentioned in this thread (or another recent thread), difficult to turn into a funny, enjoyable mission. Work on being able to write something funny and enjoyable before you take on Starkit, okay?
Please don’t take this as me harshing your buzz. I was the overexcitable newbie at one point, too, but even I learnt at some point that sporking fanfiction isn’t an emergency. I got Permission in 2008 and only now have I written a mission to a Legendary-calibre fic. Many people never do it, and that’s also okay.

Not all legendary badfics would necessarily lend themselves well to a funny mission. by

That page is more for fanfictions that are notorious in real world fandom spaces, rather than information that's known in-universe by PPC characters. Whether all of them ever get missions written is just dependent on whether any Boarders figure out ways to make them funny and entertaining.

However, some of the pages are stubs. Regardless, there probably are a few missions for those badfics that aren't documented on the wiki. Even if the missions don't exist, then the MSTs should still be listed on the wiki.
