            Bug ID: 50974
           Summary: Redlinks show up as bluelinks in VisualEditor mode
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General
          Assignee: [email protected]

If there is a link to an non-existent article or page it shows up in red when
viewing a page.  When you click to edit with VisualEditor, the redlink shows up
as blue which makes it appear that it is linking to a page that has already
been created. 

For example, in my sandbox I created a link to the non-existent page
"testinggg" using [[testinggg]] in source.  After saving the page I returned to
the sandbox and saw the link in red.  I clicked to edit the page with
VisualEditor, and the link turned blue.  It should remain red if the page has
not yet been created.  You can try this for yourself in my sandbox:

This may be a Parsoid issue?
