Forum:Red links on imported pages

When I import pages from Wikipedia to Religion Wiki there are often very many red links. Since the wiki software automatically determines whether religion wiki has an article or not and colors the corresponding link red or blue, why couldnt it just automatically make links to pages that dont exist (on religion wiki) redirect to Wikipedia? (As opposed to going to a 'create article' page). Granpa 20:29, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * You can either do that or remove the links entirely. You just need to edit the XML before you import (preferably with Notepad++), the standard windows notepad messes up encoding...or if you use linux, any text editor.


 * You just need to search for the links and do a find and replace, either replace them with nothing to remove them entirely.


 * OR


 * For linking them to wikipedia replace ' with [[wikipedia: and ' with |]].
