Once and only once, only once
So there's been a series of reverts regarding redundant linking to character pages. (Culminating, for now, in my most recent revert.) Since there's disagreement on this matter as well as inconsistencies in how this is applied, I'm bringing the discussion into the talk page. With that in mind, here are my observations:
- The Resulting removal of links remains inconsistent. A simple example: between the Cover and Day 1, Homestar Runner is linked twice. Strong Bad is linked three times: in the Cover, Day 3 and Day 14. And Cow Lamp is also linked twice in consecutive days. None of these were covered in the revert in question.
- Our policy discourages multiple linking, however there are two exceptions: long articles and sections that may be linked to other sections. Note that both of the criteria might fit some or all of the cases on this page. It is also the reasoning behind this edit, which I previously thought was made on the Decemberweenvent Calendar page instead of this one.
Therefore, there is strong rationale for keeping the links as they are now: so readers don't have to hunt for links if they jump to any of the sections on this page. --Stux 14:48, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
