Overlinking
[edit]Hi Ennomien - I have reverted your edit at List of cities in India by population , for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in an article, and we do not normally link:-
- Everyday words understood by most readers.
- Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
- Common units of measurement, years and dates
There are many articles where these are incorrectly, linked; however, India is very clearly a major country, and we are trying to reduce overlinking, not increase it - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:31, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
