If wikilinks are put in an external table file, those links are not seen at scan time, and so ikiwiki does not know to update the page containing the table when the pages the links point to change (are added, removed, etc). There seem only two solutions to that bug -- either really make wikilinks in an external table file not work (probably by escaping them), or run the preprocess code also in scan (expensive!). --[[Joey]] [[done]]
