If I understand, which I may not, you could create links to the references by doing this:
==References== #[[Reference:Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire|Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire]] #[[Reference:The Hobbit|The Hobbit]] #[[Reference:Red Spy Queen|Red Spy Queen]]
That gives individual sources. Perhaps you want to put all references on one reference page:
==References== *[[Reference:References for Empire|References]]
Having created those links, clicking on one will take you to the blank page ready for editing or, if it was already created, to that page.
Making Reference:pagename does add the page to that namespace.

I want to create page and talk page for references that get added to any article. I have done the code where you can add a new reference and save it in the database. I have also created a separate reference and reference talk namespace.
At the end of the article i am showing a list of references, now i want this to actually be the link to the reference page. Once the user clicks on the link it hsould take him to that reference page and show a standard box which shows the reference information. Also how to add a page in the namespace. Does doing Reference:pagename add the page to that namespace?
