Bug ID: 47801
Summary: [New UserLogin] Don't show red links to help pages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
URL: https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sp%C3%A9cia

The new UserLogin shows red links everywhere. I assume this was done to
compensate the removal of the wall of text on en.wiki, but it's not nice: on
most wikis those help pages won't exist and are not needed (username policy),
or are needed but shouldn't exist locally (logging in; bug 43591), or exist but
under another title (every Wikipedia except en.wiki; it.wiki has been fixed,
fr.wiki not yet, most Wikipedias will never be fixed).
Simple solution: kill the links (e.g. createacct-helpusername-link) and leave
them to customisations of the preceding messages (e.g. userlogin-yourname),
which need to parse links and also some HTML if the grey is absolutely needed,
and possibly to be copied to a new key if they're recycled from previous
interface.
Complex solution: identify if the page exist and don't link it if it doesn't
and/or link to MediaWiki.org, e.g.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in .
