Description

Education Programme:

On page
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alpha_Centaurus?veaction=edit&oldid=39924153&uselang=en
the link to
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensino:Universidade_Federal_do_Rio_Grande_do_Sul/C%C3%A1lculo_Num%C3%A9rico_%28MAT01169%29_%282014-2%29
is red, but it should be blue because (from the user's point of view) the page exists.

GlobalUserPages:

Viewing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TemplateData shows a blue link for "James Forrester". However, when editing with VisualEditor, the link is red.

Unfortunately, that page doesn't actually exist. EducationProgram just pretends it does via the hook I mentioned in T72504#942697.

Extension:WikimediaIncubator also uses this hook so "Valid Wx/xyz info pages should be considered as existing pages". SemanticMediaWiki also uses it for something.

There are other issues due to Title::isAlwaysKnown that aren't just the TitleIsAlwaysKnown hook - existence of files vs. file pages, and existence of system messages.

Legoktm created subtask T141963: Expose Title::isKnown() status via the API.Aug 3 2016, 7:08 AM

I filed a blocker bug to expose Title::isKnown() via the API, so VE can use it.

Once that is in place, someone will need to update ve.init.mw.LinkCache to use it.
