Linkless exists checks whether a page exists. This check functions the same way as #ifexist:, and checks for a page's existence without creating a backlink.
Usage
editThe template requires one parameter: the name of the page to be checked. Include a namespace where necessary. There are two other optional parameters: the text to appear if the page is present, and the text to appear if it is absent. By default, these are set to "true" and "", which evaluate as true and false respectively within expressions. {{Linkless exists|Main Page|working|broken}} is an efficient shortcut for {{#if:{{Linkless exists|Main Page}}|working|broken}}.
