User is requesting a way to build a list of links on page (so api prop=links), to only include "bluelinks"/not include "redlinks"
I suppose this is doable, but for AWB to do it, it would require various page loads (bad!). It would be doable easier via API, as it would be able to look up all titles in the database to see if pages exist...?
Is this feasible, or would it potentially be too much of a database hog?
Thanks

That'll do me - Cant reuse our code so simply to use the extra atrribute (we usually just pick off namespace and page), but thats doable
Easy enough to check if the missing="" is there
Thanks Bryan!

Actually, you don't even need prop=info: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=links&titles=New_Hampshire%27s_1st_congressional_district&gplcontinue=5011204|0|Wolfeboro,%20New%20Hampshire
