It's been policy ever since the wiki started. I think it has to do with being too over-crowded or looking ridiculous with everything linked otherwise. I'm going to guess you'd like to recommend a new policy for link placement? [[User:Asara|Asara]] 18:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC) | It's been policy ever since the wiki started.

Ah, it's also part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Linking: Wikipedia's Manual of Style]: "Link only the first occurrence of an item. A link that had last appeared much earlier in the article may be repeated, but generally not in the same section. (Table entries are an exception to this; each row of a table should be able to stand on its own.)" [[User:Asara|Asara]] 18:57, 28 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Aha, that's pretty much what I just suggested. "A link that had last appeared much earlier in the article may be repeated, but generally not in the same section." Maybe not the 'much' bit for one of my Gnoll links, so I'll happily fix that. The point is to keep readers from having to glance around the page looking for their link. The table thing I wholeheartedly agree with, though I always wonder why the table has a link, but the article itself doesn't (which is where it would provide context!). And yes... you know me, I'd like to propose a change for future link placement. I suppose I'll be posting to the forums! ~[[User:Soludra|Soludra]] 19:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
:For the record, I prefer to think of the "Inhabitants" section as a table according to that Manual of Style, which is precisely why I linked all the names in there, rather than blanking some due to previous mentions. ~[[User:Soludra|Soludra]] 19:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
