[{{fullurl:{{{1}}}|action=edit}} {{{1}}}]

Usage

Use {{User:TEF/Templates/Redlink|<unwritten article title>}} in lieu of linking to a non-existent page: this offers the functionality of seeing a visual reminder to create an article without adding to Special:WantedPages.

Regular redlinks

Use the standard convention of creating a link (without a destination article):

• For mainspace articles that should be created.
• For article in other spaces that will be created soon (e.g. within the next day).

Template

redlink

Use the template instead for:

• Suggesting a potential article name that might not be used, e.g. on a talk page discussing whether how to name split articles.
• Reminders for the user to create follow-up pages within their user space.

No special formatting

Do not highlight at all:

• When an article is unlikely to be created with that name.

Examples

{{User:TEF/Templates/Redlink|A new article}} → A new article
