redlink
Uncreated page indicator
A redlink is a hyperlink on a wiki (especially Wikipedia) that points to a page that doesn't yet exist, displayed in red rather than the standard blue.
Redlinks invite contributors to create the missing article.
The term extends to the act of creating such gaps: Someone redlinked half the citations in this article.
A page with many redlinks may indicate incomplete sourcing or overly obscure references.
