Linking articles

[edit]

Generally speaking, an article should contain a link to another article only if the linked article is likely to be help a reader of the linking article to understand content of that article. Almost always, that means that one or both of two things applies. Either the linked article contains further information about the subject of the linking article, or it explains the meaning of a word or expression which is used in the linking article, and for which readers are likely to need an explanation. It is a common mistake among new editors to think that the more links an article has to other articles the better, but in fact research has shown that having more links makes it less likely that readers will find the relevant ones, which gat lost among the irrelevant ones. For example, a reader of the article Catholic Church in Canada will not find any information about the Catholic church in Canada in the article 1990s, nor are many readers likely to need to look up the meaning of "1990s", so it is not helpful to have a link to that article. Such unnecessary links are commonly referred to in Wikipedia as "overlinking". JBW (talk) 19:36, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
