You can also use Special:Contact/general to request Fandom staff manually purge and refresh the data for the Wanted Pages on your wiki. This usually fixes it for a time, but may need to be done every time you want to see current data.

If Fandom staff has some useful feedback about this bug, please post it here... maybe we will be able to help other users who run into this problem. Alright, thanks to a little help from Fandom, I have finally learned how to delete the unwanted, wanted pages.

To delete them, you'll want to visit each of those wall messages and remove the link on each of them. In other words, open link, click to edit the post, remove the brackets to disable the link, published edit. It should disappear from the wanted pages within a day. (Still having trouble with "wanted" templates though.)

We all know if you see red words it means the link does not exist. If you do not want the link to exist, remove the source causing the phrase to be red.

One thing I should mention, I usually use Chrome for my browser, but Chrome wanted to edit the messages in their threads as a classic edit (to remove brackets you'll want to use source mode). Microsoft Edge had them in source mode already (which is unusual because Chrome seems to always be better for wikis).

Hope this helps someone else!
