  • Hyperlinks relevant to multiple pages should be placed in a location common to all of them and not on each page. This will help in maintaining the wiki if the hyperlink changes.


NOTE:

Descriptive text following a hyperlink is allowed provided the following conditions are met:-

  • the link plus its descriptive text will occupy no more than two lines
  • the descriptive text must add value to the link.


For example:

is not acceptable, whereas

Any links not confirming to this will be edited.


Any links and descriptive text which can be shortened without changing their meaning or impact will be edited.
