What should be done with such

To summarize: [[en:Rotenburg (district)]] modest article on the district -> links [[en:Rotenburg]] (a town in the district); page empty but... -> interlinks [[de:Rotenburg (W�1/4mmer)]] page doesn't exist, but... <- linked by [[de:Rotenburg]] (disambiguation page)
I put a one-line stub into [[en:Rotenburg]], it could do with information from someone who's heard of it or knows where to find details.
I personally tend to frown on interlanguage links to pages that don't exist at present, since it's not very helpful -- there's no indication on the link that you're going to a nonexistent page, and you just get "there is no text in this page" instead of something helpful. But I wouldn't bother removing them; better for someone to write the linked articles and solve the problem. ;)

Is it possible that the interlanguage links be of a different color when leading to a non-existant page (born in 1969 ;-)) ?
