Usage of #ifexist
As far as I know, that parser function has the unfortunate disadvantage that it creates Special:WantedPages. In this case, if I saw that correctly, using {{LanguageBar}} on a page "Page" with only an english version will create the wanted pages "Ca/Page", "Cs/Page", "De/Page", ... (as many pages as there are languages). Is this a problem and should this be addressed? I remember that someone found some workaround for {{lang}} the other day, some trick trying to get a page's security level or so, telling whether a page exists without creating wanted pages. If desired, I could try to look that up again. Or even better, create an optimal {{ifexist}} template. --popcorn (talk) 06:22, 23 July 2024 (PDT)
