Link conversion gone wrong

I encountered a weird auto-link. The link used to link to a NuWiki article, that had the threadID 115809
But after the import the link points to:
/showwiki.php?title=115809

This off course does not exist.

This is due to a difference in functionality. In NuWiki the BB-Code option was used to specify the ID of the article. In VaultWiki, it's used to specify the article title.

Fixed for the next release. If the option is an integer, the converter will try:

Try: Is there an article with the integer as the name?
Try: Is there an article with the integer as the ID?
Catch: The article doesn't exist, do nothing and assume integer as name.

Do I fix this by running the imported again, after i installed the next release?

You could, but it would only work if you restored the article to a pre-converted state, or manually changed the broken links back to the NuWiki format.

Thats not really a solution, so I am confused about what to do. Example:
I have such pages listed on my wanted pages, without any articles listed that link to these. If I could see what articles link to the non existing pages, then I could just edit it out and be done with it.

If you click the "(X links)" on Wanted pages, it should list every wiki article that links there. Unfortunately if any posts, VMs, PMs, etc link there it won't be able to list them.

While there are 5 links to the page, it only shows:

There is currently no text in this page.
