--- Comment #2 from Matt <[email protected]> ---
I've also corrected the Mediawiki version, it is 1.19.3, I apparently misread
it. Either way, I'm coming from Wikia and have no way to update MediaWiki
versions, not forgetting the last upgrade Wikia did was from 1.16. I'm also
aware of how $1 (or $2, $3, etc.) are variables altered depending on usage.

As an example, the link references /wiki/Special:Upload?wpDestFile=$1 an
example of which can be seen
http://camtest.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Filerevert-intro as opposed to linking
to the filepath that would be there when the image has been uploaded. When the
page is created it then links to the file -
http://camtest.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/File:$1. You'll notice I've
also created File:$1 redirecting it to another, which doesn't resolve the
issue.

I wouldn't say this poses any major problem, likely there's not very much point
in adding to the page under normal circumstances. It just seems a little odd to
have a system message that automatically creates a redlink as soon as it's
created.

I assume the same is true of links to [[User:$1]], [[$1]], etc. which are
normally redirected to a placeholder page in my experience, although in this
case that doesn't work. It would probably be nice to recognise those as issues
here too. Perhaps those should automatically redirect to a placeholder system
message?
