The bis problem is, that our MediaWiki 1.10alpha

What
is wrong? The template or our MediaWiki version?
This is a (in this case, unwanted) side-effect of registering the link
with the parser; the link tables need to be updated with the possible
link, so that if the status of the title being tested changes, then
the caches of pages using the parser function can be properly
invalidated; the posh term is "cache coherency".
The same link tables are also used to generate Special:Wantedpages.
Good to know that there's a posh term for this. Anyway, there's nothing to
prevent creating unwanted dead links? I tried to have the link-brackets
outside of the ifexist condition(s) - in vein.
