'''Make [[Help:Link|links]] only where they are relevant and helpful in the context''': Excessive use of hyperlinks can be distracting and may slow the reader down. Redundant links (like the one in {{!xt|the tallest people on [[Earth]]}}) clutter the page and make future maintenance harder. High-value links that {{em|are}} worth pursuing should stand out clearly.

'''Linking to sections''': A hash sign (<code>#</code>) followed by the appropriate heading will lead to a relevant part of a page. For example, <code><nowiki>[[~~Apostrophe~~#~~Use in non-English names~~]]</nowiki></code> links to a particular section of the article [[~~Apostrophe~~]].

'''Linking to sections''': A hash sign (<code>#</code>) followed by the appropriate heading will lead to a relevant part of a page. For example, <code><nowiki>[[EVE University Management#Director of Operations]]</nowiki></code> links to a particular section of the article [[EVE University Management]].

'''Initial capitalization''': ~~Wikipedia~~'s ~~[[MediaWiki]]~~ software does not require that wikilinks begin with an upper-case character. Only capitalize the first letter where this is naturally called for, or when specifically referring to the linked article by its name: {{xt|[[~~Snake~~]]~~s are often~~ [[~~venomous~~]], but [[~~lizard~~]]~~s only rarely~~ (see [[~~Poison~~]]).}}

'''Initial capitalization''': The UniWiki's software does not require that wikilinks begin with an upper-case character. Only capitalize the first letter where this is naturally called for, or when specifically referring to the linked article by its name: {{xt|The [[Buzzard]] is used for [[exploration]], but other [[frigates]] can also be used (see [[Covert Ops]]).}}

'''Check links''': Ensure that the destination is the intended one~~; many dictionary words~~ lead to ~~disambiguation pages and not to complete or well-chosen articles~~.

'''Check links''': Ensure that the destination is the intended one. Occasionally, redirects lead to the [[Category:Eve Lexicon|EVE Lexicon]] rather than a more appropriate page.
