Currently you have to use #ifexist to test if a given template exists. But it would be quite more easy and intuitive to simply wrap the actual call in #iferror without any further branches.
I think it had to be changed in line 02969 (next to "# If the title is valid but undisplayable, make a link to it") of includes/parser/Parser.php (r41837): - $text = "[[:$titleText]]"; + $text = "[[:$titleText|<span class=\"error\">$titleText</span>]]"; or something alike.
Don't redlinks already have a class? If so, do we want to add another one/replace it? <a href="..." class="new" title="Template:Doesn'texist (does not exist)">Template:Doesn'texist</a>
Hmm, the semantics of 'error' and 'new' are quite different IMO.
The error class is for just that, messages indicating an unambiguous error in page rendering. There is nothing necessarily wrong with a redlink; it's entirely possible that that was the intention. WONTFIX.
