Forums: Index > Policy > Consistently linking to missions/assignments


This page is for discussing a policy related to the Mass Effect Wiki that may or may not be passed by the community. The Form below serves to describe the Policy and what it is about, or what it will modify.

Policy: Edit

Description of Policy: For ease of users scanning a page, references to named missions or assignments should always be links

Notes:
Supporting links or images: Dossier:_The_Justicar was recently edited by Lancer1289, removing links that were "too close together". While I agree that too many random links in a page can be distracting, I think that links to missions are different. Since mission and assignment goals are important.. *especially* in one-time missions such as The Justicar... I think it's important to call users' attention to them by making them links, when they are referenced by name.

Other Notes Edit

Voting Edit

SupportEdit

NeutralEdit

OpposeEdit

  1. I find this proposal highly impractical. It would require combing through pretty much every one of the wiki's articles to ensure that the necessary links are present. The benefits that the proposer has suggested would be gained from such an investment, an increased convenience for readers, cannot be substantiated and in my opinion do not justify the effort. As a side note, the proposer is an unregistered contributor who has been absent for some time and may not return. I do not foresee other users taking it upon themselves to complete this endeavor in his stead, and so the policy is essentially unenforceable. -- Commdor (Talk) 09:39, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

The voting period has concluded. The policy proposal has failed 0-0-1. -- Commdor (Talk) 09:39, December 19, 2011 (UTC)
