I've also noticed that red links are growing in numbers. *Sigh*, we would need a policy for red linking also but I don't have energy for that right now. Still, allow me to remove links from that one page. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that. Red links, in any wiki, are the way to know which articles are in need of creation. By having them in other issues and articles from the beginning, we save a lot of time having to go through countless of past comics checking if the character is linked or not...

As Wikipedia says: "Good red links help Wikipedia—they encourage new contributors in useful directions, and remind us that Wikipedia is far from finished."

The solution would be having more people invested in creating and filling articles. I'm aware that it is extremely difficult, but limiting the number of red links is absolutely not the way to go...
