It's a pure spam page -- some spambot has Cookbook.EmacsPmWikiMode 
in its list and chooses to spam it.  (EmacsPmWikiMode exists in the
Cookbook-V1 group, as it was primarily a v1 recipe.)

Note that RecentChanges and AllRecentChanges are
not created using (:pagelist:).  They're just
wiki pages (like any other page) that are updated
whenever a page is changed.  So, when a page is
deleted, the links that exist on RecentChanges
become links to non-existent pages.  (This is as it
should be, so that people can see that pages have
been deleted and review things accordingly.)

The (:pagelist:) directive only displays pages that 
exist -- it doesn't display pages that don't exist.
(If I'm wrong about this, point me to a url on
pmwiki.org or somewhere so I can look at it, since
that's the way (:pagelist:) is supposed to work.)
