Article (redlink)

The Template:Lared provides a link-menu, auto-hidden for a redlinked article, to show an extra-small set of links to an article, to be used up to 500 times per page.
- Performance considerations
The Template:Lared was designed, in October 2012, to be much shorter and faster than Template:La, which had a post-expand include size of 1410 bytes, due to invoking Template:Lx. In comparison, {Lared} has an include size of 660 bytes, or 2.1x smaller, almost two times smaller by omitting the rare options "watch" and "logs". So, {Lared} uses function {fullurl:} only 2 times, compared to {La} using {fullurl:} 5 times. When the article page does not exist, then {Lared} shows "(redlink)" with just 85 bytes (or 71 + 2 × name length). In many cases, the template {La} can be used, but in long lists of article names, then using {Lared} will generate a list that is over 2x times more compact, more condensed than with template {La}. When {La} can display 30 groups of items, then {Lared} could display over 60-495 similar groups, within the same template resources. However, {Lared} is limited to 500 total instances per page. The size limitations of {La} had exceeded the post-expand include size when used hundreds of times in page "WP:Copyright problems" which could not display the final 20-30 days of articles in the backlog list.
