That particular issue has been fixed, but MattN also mentioned the following.

I pretty sure this is somehow related to wiki.pageExists() which we no longer need because all our docs/ links in the wiki have the right color anyway even when generated by a template. We removed that check from {{domxref()}} and I see the same with {{MathMLElement()}} where I no longer use pagesExists() now neither. 

So I think we can solve this by either removing that check in the all templates completely (because I think we don't need it) or by further investigating what is wrong with that check.
