Some editors, though, do have a thing against external links. An example from my recent experience: edit-warring with an editor about linking <5 reviews and official sites on _[[Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise]]_. They apparently interpreted WP:EL as meaning that *if* a link could be used elsewhere in the article (such as a reception section), it *must* be so used or be removed. -- gwern _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
