Dead Red links
edit
I do not agree with having links to articles which do not exist. It may be years before someone gets around to making those articles. They simply confuse the reader. The Q915 (talk • contribs) 13:05, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- "I do not agree with having links to articles which do not exist." - I suggest you go read MoS; there is plenty of justification for red links ...
- "It may be years before someone gets around to making those articles." - And why is that a problem?
- "They simply confuse the reader." - Who do they confuse, and how do they confuse them?
- Yes, that may be your POV, but others, including the MoS, have a different POV ...

- Having redlinks in the text of an article avoids needing to add links later on when articles are created later. However, adding them to a 'see also' section just looks bad and I think should be avoided. Wongm (talk) 13:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that's much better explained, but it's still just a POV ... Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Red links. They're relevant subjects, and The Q915's opinion on the general matter of red links is quite irrelevant. Rebecca (talk) 08:31, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
