I am reposting my question since we upgraded media wiki to 1.4.7 and are still experiencing the same behavior.
The internal wiki links in MediaWiki are either blue (click to view an existing article) or red (click to edit a new article). This coloring applies to the tabs at the top as well. We have a number of stub articles in our wiki that are showing their discussion tabs as red, even though the discussion does in fact exist.
It is only happening on the articles tab (discussion is red in color when it is not new) but it doesn't happen for any other tabs.
Your Template:Stub includes this code:
{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:Talk:{{PAGENAME}}}}
this appears to poison the link cache by trying to look up a non-namespaced page "Talk:IRS Enrolled Agent Exam"; the extra colon at the start confuses it.
