exactly. I think that we might be doing too much in the way of a value judgement. I consider a red ink a todo list, or request, not "something wrong" I know the opinions vary here but I'd rather us not swing too far into associating an emotion or value judgment on red links.

@jared:

I've got two points.

1. Hover isn't a thing we can rely on. Even desktop computers have touch screens now.
2.The colour red usually means that something's wrong (in our case: a page doesn't exist yet), and so does the "!" icon. "Dotted Underline" on the other hand has no meaning to it, it's super abstract. Users would have to learn what it means by trial and error.
