Q: Can I preempt the edit password prompt on links that don't yet have pages?
The nature of my wiki requires edit passwords. When I started my wiki, I encouraged editors to insert what I call "pre-links" in articles. For example, an editor creating an article about "Bob" will go ahead and link references to "Mary" or "Joe" even if no articles exist on Mary or Joe. My reasoning was that other editors would notice these links and future articles would be encouraged as a result. This is very confusing to a common non-editor/reader, though, whose only interest is browsing the site. They click one of the links with the ? mark beside it, and can't understand why they're getting a prompt for a password. I would like to insert a message, "This article has not been written yet. Please check back later" and also have a way for editors to click from THAT page, submit their password, and proceed to create the new page. For the moment, I've asked editors to stop inserting pre-links until this can be sorted out.
