Since upgrading to 1.6.3, message parameters ($1, $2 etc.) used in the MediaWiki namespace show up in Special:Wantedpages. This can be observed here: http://www.freie-gesellschaft.de/wiki/Spezial:Wantedpages -- most wanted page is "$1" which is only linked from the MediaWiki namespace [http://www.freie-gesellschaft.de/mediawiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Whatlinkshere&target=%241].
This was mentioned already in bug 2428 comment 4 . Bug 2428: special pages are shown in Special:Wantedpages
Fixed in SVN trunk, r13983.
