https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_alertdialog_role has a "Managing Modals and Non Modal Dialogs" link to https://developer.mozilla.org/en/ARIA/ARIA_Guides/Managing_Modal_and_Non_Modal_Dialogs, but Managing_Modal_and_Non_Modal_Dialogs doesn't exist yet.

Although I was interested in such an article, it's not a huge issue. It's a wiki & that's its nature. The main/co-issue is: would it be possible to indicate via style and/or other means (tooltip, etc.) to make links to non-existent articles more obvious. Links to nonexistent articles on Wikipedia & other wikis, for instance, are red by default, and some have a tooltip/title attribute indicating the destination page doesn't exist yet.

Also a feature idea: a button/link that would automatically submit a "missing wiki page" bug, or automagically when a wiki page request gets a 404 when it's obvious (via referrer/logs/however) it's an intrawiki link.

Apologies if this should have been broken out into several bugs.

The link *is* actually marked as pointing to a non-existent page – it's colored red instead of default blue. There are just so few links on that page that this is not easily apparent. Caught me too.

Oh, actually. I was looking at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_dialog_role where it is marked – but that link points to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/ARIA/ARIA_Guides/Managing_Modal_and_Non_Modal_Dialogs. The "docs/" part was missing on the alertdialog page, I have corrected the link on the wiki now and it gained the red color.

The link is now red.
