~~{{shortcut|MOS:UNDERLINK|WP:UNDERLINKING}}~~

An article is said to be ''underlinked'' if words are not linked that are needed to aid understanding of the article. In general, links should be created to:

*Relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers understand the article more fully (see the example below). This can include people, events, and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, so long as the link is relevant to the article in question.

* Relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers understand the article more fully (see the example below). This can include people, events, and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, so long as the link is relevant to the article in question.

*Articles with relevant information, for example: "{{xt|see [[Fourier series]] for relevant background}}"

* Articles with relevant information, for example: "{{xt|see [[Wikipedia:Fourier series|Fourier series]] for relevant background}}"

*Articles explaining words of technical terms, jargon or slang expressions/phrases—but you could also provide a concise definition instead of or in addition to a link. ~~If there is no appropriate Wikipedia article, an [[Help:Interwikimedia links|interwikimedia link]] to [[Wiktionary]] could be used~~.

* Articles explaining words of technical terms, jargon or slang expressions/phrases—but you could also provide a concise definition instead of or in addition to a link..

*[[Proper name]]s that are likely to be unfamiliar to readers

Do not be afraid to create links to potential articles that do not yet exist ''(see {{section link||Red links}} below)''.

If you feel that a link does not belong in the body of an article, consider moving it to a [[~~Wikipedia~~:Manual of Style/Layout#See also section|"See also" section]].

-<!-- This Anchor tag serves to provide a permanent target for incoming section links. Please do not move it out of the section heading, even though it disrupts edit summary generation (you can manually fix the edit summary before saving your changes). Please do not modify it, even if you modify the section title. It is always best to anchor an old section header that has been changed so that links to it won't be broken.
