Admin Forum:Keeping redlinks off Special:WantedPages

Is there any way in the world of keeping some redlinks off Special:WantedPages? For instance, at w:c:tardis, I have a template called tardis:template:Timeline. What it does, with the help of a lot of other templates — but for the purposes of this discussion, mainly tardis:template:YearNav — is to sit on a page abot a year, say tardis:1960, and then provide a link to the ten years which surround 1960. That's find when you're talking the 20th century. Bu due to the nature of Doctor Who, we can have, say, 2360, but there won't page pages for 2355 and 2362, because no story has been set in those years. The more far flung the year, the less of a chance that surrounding years will ever be made.

So what I want is some way to prevent a redlink for showing up. I could use an #ifexist statement:



Only thing is, in the past this didn't actually prevent the pages from showing up on Special:WantedPages. Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed? Or is there some clever bit of template coding which might trick Special:WantedPages into not "seeing" a redlink? 22:47: Thu 21 Jun 2012


 * I think at the moment the ifexist bug still exists. As ParserFunctions are (as I understand) now in the main MediaWiki code release, this may well be fixed when 1.19 comes about, if not - then after 1.19 comes out, I'd bug staff to fix it. --  Random Time  22:54, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
