Template:Directed link/doc

This template is for directing links on pages that are imported from Wikipedia. If a link of the form pagename exists on, the link will be directed to there; otherwise to the corresponding page on Wikipedia.

It is useful when the links will ultimately be filled in but have not yet been done so, eliminating the need to go and change the link when the new page has been filled in.

It is not intended as a permanent solution. It will not cause the linked-to pages to be listed in the Wanted Pages list, and if pages are left in this form, needed pages on may never get created. The purpose is only to eliminate the red links until all the links can be resolved permanently.
