RecentChanges should not link to pages that are being deleted. For as example, see the change with the title 'add news item for ikiwiki 2.60' which includes the deletion of "news/version 2.52". Maybe it should be made clear in RecentChanges that the change to the file is it being deleted.

It needs to link to the deleted page so that you can recreate the page if desired.

The link is not of the normal form used for a link to a nonexistant page, instead it redirects through a CGI. This is done because updating the links would require rebuilding all change pages each time, which would be 100x as slow as the current method.

I don't feel that being 100 times faster at the expense of a marginally inconsistent, but still usable interface is a bug. --Joey done
