View source for Red Link


When a [[Wick|wikilink]] is made to a page that doesn't exist yet, the link text appears in red, as opposed to the blue used for normal wikilinks. [[It Looks Like This]].

A misspelled or otherwise botched link will also be red, even if the page it was intended to go to does exist.

Some links are [[All The Tropes:Frequent Redlinks|Frequent Redlinks]], such as misspellings and abbreviations, that should be changed.

Links to works that don't yet have pages will also show up as red. However, they'll automatically shift to blue when the page is created, so don't be afraid to link to works this way--it makes it easier to find existing trope entries when someone eventually [[Works Pages Are a Free Launch|writes it up]].

Not to be confused with the red Link from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Adventures]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', nor when he's wearing [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|a Red Ring]], [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|the Red Mail]], or [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|the Goron Tunic]]. Also not to be confused with the title character from the 1986 film ''[[Link (film)|Link]]''; he's more auburn than full red.
