Actually, it'd be nice never to create them in the first place.
Tom, those special pages are caches for expensive (takes a lot of I/O
or processing) queries. Theoretically, if you turned off the users'
ability to do these queries (see $wgMiserMode), the cached versions
could be returned instead.
You can't turn the caching off right now. You can't change the
attribution.
It's a relatively harmless bug. We can get it updated in the next
version of MediaWiki. I've had complaints on Wikitravel about it
myself.
