References

• Is this some sort of new practice to wikilink everything? Even if it is the same magazine, website...I'm honestly asking.

I think this is actually a much better practice, as the user does not access the refs in order, so it may happen that he accesses one reference for the first time and the publisher is not linked there, because it has been linked in an earlier ref (which does not help in this case). This is the purpose of this linking. I'm sure I saw this type of linking on several articles I've edited on. Cartoon network freak (talk) 08:56, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

So did I. I'm not opposed to that, I just have a different experience and you have a good point. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:01, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
