Not sure if joining those in an OR makes se.se

I would add a variable at the beginning called "basepages_populated"
that holds the result of those two conditions.
I am not sure if it slightly improves the code as the conditions do
not need to be rechecked, but the readibility a bit.

I think this comment belongs to the last patch.
