Example: https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/USA:s_presidenter is deleted, but See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AGlobalUsage&limit=500&target=Harry-truman.jpg says that it is "IN USE". Pleas purge the Database. Thank you.
Usually this is not an issue for other link tables, since we inner join on page, so its not noticeable. As it stands, the only way to address the issue is to recreate the page in question, and then delete it. We should probably * Make the refreshlinks option of API purge kill all links if the page doesn't exist * Possibly make normal purge on non-existent pages also do that (Not sure, normally we do not have purge touch the link tables, but to be fair purging images does really complex (and expensive) cache clearing, so it wouldn't be that different)
This was a example. All databases are affected. This is a problem and should be fixed.
A other exaple: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AGlobalUsage&limit=50&target=Flag+of+Veneto.png But the page on incubator.wikimedia.org is deleted. A lotos of files are affected...
MariaDB [commonswiki_p]> SELECT * FROM globalimagelinks WHERE gil_page_title = "USA:s_presidenter" AND gil_wiki = "betawikiversity"; I see only on this page ~50 affected files... Global are thousands of files affected
Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla/Fields#Severity If this is obstructing work in a major way, it is more helpful to give an explanation of how that happens.
How long time do we need to wait @Tisza Gergő ...? Restored prio, CC Erik. Major loss of function in an important area.
As I said, explaining how this is hindering your work or causing you problems is more helpful than playing around with severity flags (which does not cause bugs to magically fix themselves).
It is a problem in DeletionRequests if nonexisting usage is schown, it is a problem for the GlobalBot Commons Delinker (flooding the error log)... etc etc. A experienced wikimedian schold know this.

The script needs to actually be run. This bug can track that.
