Linkless exists
Hello and thank you for creating Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Miscellaneous. That could be a valuable change but, in the meantime, you may find Linkless exists useful. Certes (talk) 20:29, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks ., would this work for WikidataIB as well? It's a temporary hack solution with no guarantees that it will work in the long-run, though (but then, that's normal around here ;-) ). Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:01, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * As WikidataIB does most of its work in Lua, it couldn't call the template directly. Module:Linkless (recently deleted as unused) provided a Lua entry point with the usual argument parsing etc. but was essentially the one-liner
 * As you say, this is a hack, but it does provide a single place to install a proper implementation later. Certes (talk) 22:40, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * WikidataIB hasn't made links in Special:WhatLinksHere for some time now. The only info we need is whether the Wikidata label corresponds to a redirect or not and the redirectTarget property doesn't create a link. It looks like  would be useful for testing whether a page title exists, if we needed that, although it is an expensive call. --RexxS (talk) 22:47, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, redirectTarget records a transclusion rather than a link (which makes me wonder why anyone uses the expensive isRedirect rather than treating redirectTarget as a boolean). Certes (talk) 01:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
