What should be done with such

To summarize:
[[en:Rotenburg (district)]] modest article on the
district
-> links [[en:Rotenburg]] (a town in the district);
page empty but...
-> interlinks [[de:Rotenburg (W�1/4mmer)]] page
doesn't exist, but...
<- linked by [[de:Rotenburg]] (disambiguation page)
I put a one-line stub into [[en:Rotenburg]], it
could do with
information from someone who's heard of it or knows
where to find
details.
I personally tend to frown on interlanguage links to
pages that don't
exist at present, since it's not very helpful --
there's no indication
on the link that you're going to a nonexistent page,
and you just get
"there is no text in this page" instead of something
helpful. But I
wouldn't bother removing them; better for someone to
write the linked
articles and solve the problem. ;)

Is it possible that the interlanguage links be of a
different color when leading to a non-existant page
(born in 1969 ;-)) ?
