I hoped it would be easier with Lua! Ideally, we would do it as you describe, and output nothing if the field isn't filled out. That way, if no history text exists, all we'd have to do to fix it is add some history! go figure :P

The custom blurb check that occurs at the very beginning of that code I wrote was merely the first check in a series of checks. It's expected that there wouldn't be a custom blurb, so it would then move on to the dpl and disambig pages, which would be the expected behaviour. The custom blurbs were a workaround for the ifexist checks getting stuck in redirects.
