ifexist function

Would it be possible to integrate the ifexist function? Like this: Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon) (edit to see what I mean) I think it would work better, so you could see whether it actually exists. --Abcboy (talk) 15:49, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

New coding

I would like the coding to be this:

<span class="plainlinks redlink">[{{fullurl:{{{1}}}|action=edit}} <span title="{{FULLPAGENAME:{{{1}}}}} {{int:parentheses|{{int:wikieditor-toolbar-tool-link-int-target-status-notexists}}}}">{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}</span>]</span>

Explanation:

• The tag requires the extension TemplateStyles to work. In the src parameter, you should specify from what wiki page the style sheet needs to be (defaults to the Template namespace; the page must have the sanitized-css content model). The page's content should be:

span.redlink > a:link {color:#ba0000}
span.redlink > a:visited {color:#c57d58}

• Otherwise, the above content has to be added to the page MediaWiki:Common.css (only administrators have the specific user right to do this).
• The transclusion filter int: makes the transclusion {{int:xyz}} same as {{MediaWiki:xyz}}, but the content is adjusted to the user's interface language. Displays as ⧼xyz⧽ if MediaWiki:xyz doesn't exist.
  • Protect!
  • To change the above word, see the page in French, Japanese and Polish.
• {‍{FULLPAGENAME}‍} will automatically apply capital letters when possible to the given page name.

Hope that clears out things. TheICTLiker4 13:49, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit request

While the use of an {{#ifexist}} tag has been suggested before, if that is not going to be implemented, I'd ask that a redlink=1 argument be added to the {{fullurl}} tag. The advantage in using this is, that if the page exists, the user does not go into the edit window. Or remove the action=edit argument, it'll show the create or search message. There's really no point in going to the edit window everytime. → PikaTepig999 21:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I've also posted this on the discord, and I was able to attach screenshots of what I mean here. For those that don't want to use discord, basically my suggestion would change

Detective Pikachu and Detective Pikachu (disambiguation)

to

Detective Pikachu and Detective Pikachu (disambiguation).

Also a different edit request to the one above, the line<span style="color:#CC2200"><span title="{{{1}}}">{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}</span> only has one closing tag for the two openings of the span tag. They can be combined into one. → PikaTepig999 22:38, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
