Linking

When to Link

  • Internal Articles Link to an internal article the first time a topic appears on a page. No need to repeat the link in the body of the work unless it appears in a collection of links at the end (i.e "Related Links," "See Also," etc.).
  • External Links Linking to external locations is encouraged, provided the contents of the external site provides significant insight into the topic of the containing article.
    • For example, assume your article contains the statement, "John once flew on an airplane seated next to Abraham Lincoln." The first link is superfluous, because details about air travel and the origin of planes do not have any bearing on the statement, but details about the other passenger is what makes the statement important.
