Is there a custom JavaScript hack I can use to make CTRL+clicking on red links open it in a new tab for me like it normally does? I'm assuming something like this wouldn't be allowed for the whole wiki, so I'll just use it on my personal JS page.

I'm using chrome and Ctrl+Clicking a Link always open it in a new tab. Or you can right click and choose to open the link in a new ticket o window.
I also have IE8 and these tricks seem to work there too. See if your browser also has this feature.
This feature with the third button opening the new tab will be very handy, though.
Yes, extremely. Easiest method I know of.

I use chrome. Normally, CTRL+clicking opens a new tab, but with Wikia's redlinks, it will still open the "new" (not sure when it was added) page creation dialog as if I normally clicked it. But the third-button trick does work normally for some reason.
That's werid, because both of these methods work for me. Perhaps you're looking a way to open in the new ticket the redlink page itself, rather than the editor for this page?
Okay, this is weird; it's behaving inconsistently. On this page, which has red links in Tabview tabs, then CTRL+clicking and middle clicking both open the new page in a new tab, straight into the editor. Even regular clicking changes the current page to the editor for it, with no dialog appearing.
However, on this page, with a red link in the page itself, CTRL+clicking and regular clicking both open the page creation dialog, while middle clicking opens the nonexistent page in a new tab, straight to the editor. The first time I saw this was on a page like this, so when I tested it in the other example, I thought I hadn't been pushing the right button or something, because it was working normally.
Oh, i see. In case you'd like to disable the dialog and go straight to this page, you can use this javascript:
$("a.new").click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); location.href = $(this).attr("href"); });
Okay, thanks!
Isn't the preference option, Disable "Create a new article" flow for the same?
Oh, i didnt realize there was an option for this. lol.
Lol, me too.
