Are you saying no redlinks is expected?

1.15 was released 2 years ago. Meanwhile, 1.16 has been out over a
year (and live on WMF sites for longer) and 1.17 is out now.  I think
redlinks on un-uploaded files are expected now.

If you're fine with the redlinks, then it seems were just quibbling
about the link text.  And, I agree that having “NNNpx” in the link
text is not desired.  But there is a workaround.

If you know this is so easily solved, then you can solve it.  Patches
welcome!  I've previously spent a substantial amount of fixing a link
bug, only to have my work reverted (see Bug #542), so I am personally
aware of how careful we have to be about these things.

Incidentlly, “Patches welcome!” isn't a way to say “go away”.  I
really mean it — I want more people involved and contributing.
“Patches welcome!” does mean “I don't think we have time to track down
and solve what appears to be a minor problem, but you have the source
code and this bug database to provide any patches you can come up
with.  We'll integrate your fixes if they meet our quality standards.”
