Re: [Semediawiki-user] Any way to replace 'red' links by another page ?

[Laurent A. <la...@al...>]

Thanks for the many answers.

For now, I decided to go with a default and alternate forms for the  
Main namespace.

In the future, it would be nice to be able to customize the 'alternate  
form selection' message with a template. In particular, I would like  
to be able to show alternate forms for common forms as well as a link  
to the 'Special:AddPage' form for the whole list of forms available  
(maybe something to write down  as an improvement to Semantic Forms  
someday :) ).
