Enable wiki link feature to non-existing articles

changed to inprogress on 5sep2013

test post that does not exist

When using the double brackets around a title, if the title of the post does not exist, enable the system to automatically create a post with that title. done on 5sep2013

The post body text will contain only a hashtag called draftstub and the power command for draft equals yes. done on 5sep2013

Then on the user profile page, show:

5sep2013 - still need to add this info to the user profile page.

Draft Blog Posts : 10 --- Stubs : 8

The 8 count for Stubs would come from the tag count for draftstub for the user.

The 8 would be a link that shows the posts with that hashtag. These are not private posts. But they do not appear on the front page.

Problem: If I make a mistake with the title text that's surrounded by the double bracket case, and I'm unaware of the mistake, a draft stub post is created, and I may not realize it until I click that link within the post or I view the number of draft stubs on my profile page. I would need to delete mistakes, I guess. And test to ensure the links work. done on 5sep2013

follow-up to above paragraph - 5sep2013 - the non-existent post is created during Preview. Should I change this so that during preview when creating a NEW post, the "non-existent" post is not created, so that I can see that it's a non-existent post, but when the post is saved, then the new post is created? Tags are not created within the database during preview. I may back out this feature, or make it a config param. It was easy to implement, since I already had REST code in place for adding a blog and a microblog. The code makes a REST call to itself to add the blog stub. But I think that I'll do this after the new blog post is created and not during the preview stage.

In a wiki like my Parula code that powers ToledoTalk.com, the link to a non-existent post is displayed in red, so that it's obvious. But in this new proposed system, the link does point to an existing post because the stub post is automatically created. done on 5sep2013

I think that I'll employ this feature as described above because I do not want to track and edit all posts that link to the non-existent or stub post and update the posts with the link to change the link color, etc., as I do with the wiki code in Parula.

To function similar to Parula, I would need to maintain another database table of titles for non-existent or stub posts.
