Commit summary for MediaWiki.r110285:

add hook that allows changing the check to see if a page exists or not

Dantman's comment:

Hmmm... I'm a wary of this change.

IIRC we use $title->exists() internally in low-level code in cases where we 
NEVER want the underlying software to have a false result to this test.

Also I could have sworn there was already a hook to influence things like 
redlinks which probably takes care of most of the cases where you'd want a hook 
like this.
