Talk:Skill Farming
This is going a bit too far with the number of links included. Generally speaking the Wikipedia manual of style works well for our wiki too. So I'll jsut quote it.
"In adding or removing links, consider an article's place in the knowledge tree. Internal links can add to the cohesion and utility of Wikipedia, allowing readers to deepen their understanding of a topic by conveniently accessing other articles. Ask yourself, "How likely is it that the reader will also want to read that other article?" Consider including links where readers might want to use them; for example, in article leads, at the openings of new sections, in the cells of tables, and in image captions. But note below that as a rule of thumb editors should only link the term's first occurrence in the text of the article."

Repeating links to same place is also not good. It makes the article look very cluttered and forces the reader to mentally track what links they have already seen.

Re: Links
Wow, quick and perceptive feedback. Thank you! TBH your comments are a bit of a relief. Couldn't find a doc converter that parsed all those links correctly, so I was entering them all by hand. Time-consuming and distracting. Hopefully I can get on with the rest of the article!

P.S. Re: formatting. Can I change the 'F' in the article title to lower case? How? Can I suppress the extra line feed in a Heading 3? See the heading 'Helpful skills for skill farming'.
- The drop down menu at the top right corner has "Move" option. You can use it to move the article to new name. All the edit history and talk page are automatically moved with it and a redirect is left in the old place.
That is just how headers do their things. It would probably be better to have a wide top cell in the table with the title in there. Something similar to how "High slot modules" is in Capacitor.

- Re: Header in top cell. Can do that, but would like to be able to link to it. So far, the only way I can find to link to points within an article is using a header, and placing a header in a table cell isn't recognized (though I'm a total newb at this). --Cochise DCVI (talk) 13:52, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
