Wikipedia [[WP:NOT|is not a collection of links]]... in other words, the articles should be basically self contained. In line links should be there for fact checking, not for needed content (possible external links section excepted). If that's the aim, then having a way to check that the material referenced is still the material at the other end of the link is crucial. Indirect linking is much better for this. IMHO Direct linking is positively dangerous and risks being misleading. 21:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
