Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:20, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- And to addon, the subjects edited are obvious enough to the readers hence there isn't any need to MOS:OVERLINK the word "girl group". — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 14:22, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- For example, the Wikipedia pages for Blackpink, Le Sserafim, NewJeans, Red Velvet, and many other Kpop girl groups include a hyperlink for the term “girl group.” So should all of those Wikipedia pages not have that hyperlink? Flextrax (talk) 14:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe, Flextrax, but I am not expecting Paper9oll to fix every article, not until we put them on payroll. Drmies (talk) 15:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I just don’t understand. If overlinking is the issue, then why does Super Junior’s page have “boy band” hyperlinked even though they have more hyperlinks in their first paragraph than Twice does with theirs? Flextrax (talk) 16:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but surely you understand we can't "fix" all the articles on Wikipedia in a day. Why does it have that? Because someone put it there and no one has removed it yet. Some article have no proper sourcing. Some articles misuse "comprised". Some articles have dead links, bare URLs, MOS:FLAG violations. If you want to compare, compare with GAs or FAs.
