Do these red links have a name? I used to call them "question mark 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 'em "edit links". The code calls them "broken links".
BTW, could this wiki idea spread to science, so that a paper would cite other papers that might come into existence? :-)
Why not? It works in finance, where we call them credit cards. ;)
