I am a big fan of red links, and would like to encourage everyone to use them:

Red links are an incentive for new users to create their first article.
The occurence of the same red link in many articles shows that there is need for a certain article. They then show up in lists such as Wikipedia:CHESS/Most_Wanted
When writing a new article, the button "what links here" gives an idea on what information is needed on the subject.
When a new article has been created, all red links turn automatically blue! No need to edit all articles containing your subject to create links
