A great dies.

I've added a third example to the documentation, using an existing
article (a blue, not red, link). This will occur, for example, when a
missing article is created by an editor unaware of the template's use
elsewhere.

The template should detect this, and display nothing. A bot should
occasionally remove such instances.
