Wikilinks allows an article to be pointed to by enclosing the article's title in square brackets.
This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously. |
This allows the editor to link to another article without having to type in the URL of the article or enclose it in HTML anchor tags.
This article is an attempt to gather information supporting the assertion that wikilinks are harmful to Wiki. Convenience is often cited as the reason for using wikilinks. Certainly, it offers a useful shortcut to creating links and allows the links to point to the same article regardless of article moves. This helps to tie many articles of similar interest together.
Somewhat ironically, this page is a perfect example of the harms of wikilinks.
