Yeah, looking into labels is certainly something that I considered, but
that is by definition only a guess and not as bulletproof as Q numbers.
We considered doing stuff like:
* [[not-yet-written article about Douglas Adams|Douglas Adams]]<!-- wd: Q42
-->
* [[not-yet-written article about Douglas Adams#Q42|Douglas Adams]]
... and this would kinda work, but would be leave a lot of mess to the
community editors to clean up. The template way, suggested by Gerard, is
similar and seems slightly less messy to me. But only slightly.

Hi Amir,

If I may dream for a moment, this should be
something that can be used in
all Wikipedias, and without copying this template everywhere, but built
into the site's software :)
Exactly, the template based approach doesn't scale at all. You have to
somehow make it automatic. One thing I thought about is adding suggested
sitelinks to Wikidata. The software would encounter a red link and would
look in Wikidata if it can find an item with a suggested sitelink of the
same title. Huge software overhaul so I don't see that happening.
Another approach that is probably already possible right now:
* Take an article with a red link
* Look at the links in the article in other languages.
* If you find a link that points to another article which has the same
label as the red link in the same language, link to it
I wonder how many good results that would give.
Maarten
