>Seems very WONTFIXy

That was my initial thoughts. But then I thought its really no different then
people who do things like {{#ifeq:{{CURRENTHOUR}}||[[foo]]|[[bar]]}}. So now
I'm kind of leaning towards fixing it.

As far as the actual fix goes, its not very difficult, the link table just may
not be up to date. I somewhat withdraw my specific example of the Main Page,
since that has templates that are updated multiple times a day, which means
link updates happen often. But Brianmc's example of a DPL page to feed a bot
would have the pagelinks table not stay in sync all that well unless null edits
were manually applied (or one could just look at the links from the
ParserOutput in action=parse which wouldn't have that issue and be much better
than screen scraping)
