Non-existent pages link as bold text of the same color as existing pages (non-bold). Clicking on one of these links while not logged in results in a permission error, making it look like parts of the wiki have restricted access.

What is actually happening is that it is trying to create the non-existent page, and it is THAT operation that requires permissions.  

Links to non-existent pages should follow the standard wiki convention of red text color.

This requires a change to the wiki CSS to show  a different color for broken (i.e., non-existent links). Moving this bug to Community / Wiki.

Regarding the EclipseLink documentation, please note that it is being moved off the wiki and into a more user-friendly format accessible from the main EclipseLink web pages: http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/

Ok, I've updated the CSS, so 'missing' links are now a different colour.
