It would be nice if we could optionally request AWB to warn us before saving if our changes ''introduce'' red links. I doubt many would want to be told about existing red links, but that could be an additional option. (I specifically want it for File: links especially, because I've been running with changing all text, which I've just turned off again -- I'd like those two check boxes to be able to be broken down into about 6 detailed boxes so we can fix things more automatically, but not break things :-) ) @Markhurd 08:01, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

It would definitely be a good idea - and this should also include transclusions of red-linked templates. Of course, the extra work involved with detecting these (including geting data from the wiki) would make it undesireable for anyone who doesn't actually want it.

Yes, definitely optional, but I'd hope it can be limited to noting where text has been changed within [[<here>|...]] and, given your suggestion, {{<here>|...}} and only rechecking those links. However, it may be rather simpler to just render the page and look for new red links.
