one case where question-mark links is better than colored, but agreement in general that it would be nice
feature suggestion for adding pages
Line 7:
* Currently links to entries which do not exist are formatted with a question-mark at the end. This looks unprofessional, similar to old WikiStyle, and distracts from the text. Cascading style sheets offer the possibility to have links in a color other than the ones defined in -body-. It would be nice to display, by default or as an option in the preferences, links to non-existing entries in a different color, e.g. green. If there are problems with the implementation, please add a note here and I'll try to create an HTML example.
** This should probably be a configurable option, since people using a text browser may not be able to see coloured links -[[Bryan Derksen|BD]]
 
* It should be possible to add a page from the search results page. That is, if I type "foobar" in the search, if no page with that exact name exists, the search result page (in addition to showing the matches) should offer me to "Create an entry about 'foobar' now". This way, you would still have to check for possible matches, but could add new pages easier. That's the way Everything2 does it, BTW, and it works quite nicely.
 
* Can we have the "edit this page right now!" link back at the top of the page? Or was that voted down? I like it.
