Talk:Standards for links?

From DDO wiki

Forums: Index > Village pump > Standards for links?

Is there a standard for what things should be linked in pages like enhancements and epic destinies? Like generally it seems like feats and spells on enhancement pages get links to those specific topics but is there a limit of should there be links for anything relevant like doublestrike has its own page so would a link to that in enhancements wherever it gives a bonus be appropriate or no?

Or would it be better to add a category for things like "Pages that give bonuses to Doublestrike" to be more easily sorted for everything related to a topic?

Just curious.

  • The categories would be awkward, because we'd have to run all that manually; generally, it's worth adding a link the first few times a particular topic shows up on a page. Enhancement trees, however, are kind of a special case because they're pretty segmented; it might be worth linking the word the first time it shows up in any particular enhancement. As stands, however, we don't have a clear policy for this, so it is left up to user interpretation somewhat. PurpleSerpent (ContribsMessage) 11:40, July 11, 2023 (EDT)
