Hi Victor,

you may use the return value of

    MediaWikiServices::getInstance()->getLinkRenderer()->makeLink(
Title::newFromText( 'Some title that does not exist' ) );

If you are within a ContextSource you may also call the shortcut
"$this->getLinkRenderer()"

I am authoring an extension, So no need to "add an extension" :-)

I need not only add "new" class (as in the current version of my
extension), but also make the link to the editor rather than to a
regular page.

I can write the HTML code myself, but wonder if MW API provides a
better way to do it.

You need to add the "new" class to a link for it to be a red link, but
there's no simple way to do this in standard wikitext markup. You'd have
to something like enable raw html, add an extension that allows adding
attributes to link syntax, or you maybe add a CSS rule so you could for
example put a span with class new in the link anchor.

No. The issue is to create a link to a page which does not exist.

I can hard-code HTML link in my PHP script, but I wonder if there is a
better way.

Does the page exist already?

[Wikitech-l] Creating a broken link

[Victor Porton]

How to create a broken ("edit", "red") link to a page?

That is I want to generate a HTML code which displays a link, clicking
which leads to the editor (for a page). The link should be red.

What is the right way to do this?
