== Red links (articles that do not yet exist) ==

Do you have any criteria for deciding when to create a link to articles that do not yet exist, or is it up to the whim of the writer?

:It's pretty much up to the writer.  If you feel that there should be an article on that topic, feel free to create the link.  We encourage people to [[Wikipedia:Be bold in editing|be bold in editing]].  If you'd like to learn more, you might want to try [[Wikipedia:Manual of style]], which might help.  But mainly, learn by doing, and from other articles. Yours, [[User:Meelar|Meelar]] 22:55, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)

: Hello and welcome! If you see a red link to an article that doesn't exist and feel you know enough about the subject to contribute something useful, go ahead and give it a shot. As Meelar said, don't be afraid to [[Wikipedia:Be bold in editing|be bold in editing]]. Even if you only know a few details about a subject, you can still create a [[Wikipedia:Perfect stub article|stub]]. As long as you have something to contribute, go ahead and do so!

::In general, I think that when an article could possibly created through a red link, it's better to link it than not. --[[User:Alex S|&#913;&#955;&#949;&#958;]] [[User talk:Alex S|&#931; ]] 23:03, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
