Works for me. If you think it's a caching issue, try logging in (IIRC,
full-page caching is only done with anonymous users).

Make sure that [[MediaWiki:Wantedpages-url]] has this text:
Special:Wantedpages

Here's the code I added to LocalSettings.php:
 $wgNavigationLinks[] = array('text'=>'wantedpages', 'href'=>'wantedpages-url');

Does this help any? Are you using a non-english wiki? (Check the value
of {{ns:-1}})
