Wp/sux is a deleted page, and https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/sjn is categorized as rejected. The numbers of those categories should generally be accurate. Fake codes shouldn't exist on Incubator anymore, we had a cleanup of those years ago and nowadays an abusefilter is preventing the creation of pages with invalid codes.
