Thread:Extension talk:ParserFunctions/ ifexist shows up as link in WhatLinksHere/reply (11)

What I am trying to say, is that this claim basically says that "this is the only way to possibly purge this function". I refuse to believe that. That's like saying "the only way to open a bottle is to sprinkle salt on it." If that were true, then ALL functions would require an addition to the links table, which is ridiculous. There's plenty of functions out there that need purging that have nothing to do with links, and they manage to get purged. Obviously there are other ways to trigger a purge. So don't be lazy and taking the "quick fix" that does more harm than good.
