Feature summary:
On AW when a link to another AW article is displayed, it always shows up blue. If the destination does not yet have any content, it should show up red.
Use case(s):
Here's a page I've worked on with heaps of links, most of which should currently be red:
https://abstract.wikipedia.org/view/en/Q408
Benefits:
I think you all know why red links are beneficial.

Looking into RecentChanges after making some edits and having:
The colors seem okay! the deleted and the empty articles are shown red!
However, there seems to be some difference in labeling? Notice that I'm in an environment where abstract NS is not primary, and I can see:
Can we unify this?
This only happens when WikibaseClient is not loaded, when loaded labels seem to be generated nicely
Oh the same thing happens when:
This is how it shows in that case, different cases render the labels differently:
