“ Index namespace Index pages will automatically create red links for each page that has not yet been created. Red links can be used for the title and author of the work. The title is especially likely to be a red link at first as the text from the DjVu file has not be proofread. When not to create red links Do not create red links to works that will never be created, including articles that do not comply with Wikisource's naming conventions. Note that the illustrative red link created at the beginning of this article is an example of this type of normally unwanted link. ”

“ When to create red links Main namespace Long works may start with just a table of contents, with links to each chapter as a subpage. Red links in the table show which chapters or sections have been added and so give an approximate gauge of the degree of completion. ”
