Its already in the policy first bullet and is common practice for literary templates I have created a ton of these but also have seen other people creating them as well The redlinks link to clearly notable topics that deserve articles and have considerable scholarship thus they are likely to be created Redlinking in general is a good think and encourages continued article creation This has happened with the JFCooper articles and I am sure it will happen with the Trollope articles Moreover a redlink is a useful navigational tool in that it shows people where we can not help them yet If you don t remember 4 5 years ago one of the biggest growth tools to encourage new editors was read links read Wikipedia Red link But precisely this kind of overreach on policy to make Wikipedia look complete and not a WP Work in Progress prevents new people from finding ways to contribute and discourages people from making good faith attempts at contributing Please don t let this kind of legalism perpetuate the decline in editorship
