Wikilinks

Thank you for your edit to sexism. I have a couple of suggestions. Avoid linking WP:COMMONWORDS such as dog and pig. Unless they are important to the article or people may have further interest. If the pig article had information on the word being used as an insult, then linking it would be useful. The article does not appear to have such information, however.

Linking to the article from within an article should not be done. It only generates bolded text such as User talk:Alexpiersonn You can link to a subsection of an article such as User talk:Alexpiersonn#Wikilinks or just #Wikilinks.

There is no need to pipe (some) plurals or suffixed articles. Instead of [[Dog|dogs]] dogs, you can do [[dog]]'s dogs For instance: dogies piglets The first letter of an article name is not case sensitive. donald Trump links just fine.

Please avoid WP:BAREURLS. Use an WP:inline citation for your link here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/01/27/the-long-strange-history-of-the-donald-trump-megyn-kelly-feud/ Thank you and Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
