 This might be a dupe but I couldn't find anything in search.  Steps to
 reproduce:

 1. Go to Manage / Links / Add New Link

 2. Enter a URL in the web address box.  Leave the Name box blank.

 3. Click the Save button.

 Expected: either the link should get added with a default name, or there
 should be an error message.

 Actual: silent failure.  No error message or feedback, and the link is not
 added.  The Add New page gets displayed again, which is exactly the same
 behaviour that happens when a links is added successfully.

 Fix: There should be feedback (both positive and negative) after clicking
 Save.  I'd also suggest changing it so that URL is the only require field;
 a default name could be derived from that.

 Tested in trunk but I think this fails in earlier versions also.
