Template:Ifexist/doc
This template checks for existence of pages.
The #ifexist parser function exists as part of the ParserFunctions extension, but will put up the checked page title on the list of wanted pages if it doesn't exist (see task 14019). This template serves as a workaround for this flaw. Use this template sparingly because it also uses an expensive parser function.
