Do these red links have a name? I used to call

links", but now they are "red
links" instead.
Saying "links to pages
that don't yet exist" (LTPTDYE, the exact
phrase
actually gets 8 hits
on Google) is just as tedious as "the artist
formerly known as Prince"
(TAFKAP). What about "empty links",
"blank links",
"open links",
"future links" or "suggested
links"? Is there a
word that people
frequently use?
I call them "ghost links" -- they lead to pages that
don't exist.
They are ghost links ''only'' as long as you
''don't''
click on them. Once *lead*, the page exist somehow,
since you are proposed to edit it ;-) So, I call them
empty links.
Contrarywise, the international links can really lead
you to a "non-existant" page, which is rather
embarassing from a conceptual point of view.
