Roads items

[1] Is this item supposed to be undeleted? --Rschen7754 18:31, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

@Rschen7754: Yes, thats right. The problem: when we have a deleted items the {{Roadtable body}}-Template does not work, see Wikidata:WikiProject Roads/United States/Michigan also. --Labant (talk) 08:44, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@Happy5214: Can you please fix the template so it is more forgiving? --Rschen7754 18:17, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

I will also work on undeleting some of the items soon. --Rschen7754 18:18, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@Rschen7754: Are you asking me to disregard non-existent items? I'm a little confused. -happy5214 22:35, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@Happy5214: It should not give a script error and refuse to display the table entirely if one of the items does not exist. --Rschen7754 22:49, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@Rschen7754: How should it be handled then? -happy5214 23:25, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@Happy5214: Maybe a red link? I'm just trying to avoid [2]. Not only does the table not display, but there is no clue as to which item is the one that was deleted. --Rschen7754 23:27, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

@Rschen7754, Labant: This revision should fix this issue. It treats a non-existent item of this sort the same as a noitem entry and uses the old item Q title as the label. -happy5214 00:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

@Happy5214: Thank you for the adjustment. The Redlink is not possible? --Labant (talk) 06:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

@Labant: It is, but there's no reason to do that since the Q ID won't be reused unless the item is outright undeleted. Forcing a redlink would also make the implementation slightly more complicated, since this version just hooks into the existing handling of noitem entries. -happy5214 04:52, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
