~~{{shortcut|WP:LINKCLARITY}}~~

The article linked to should correspond to the term showing as the link as closely as possible given the context: for example, {{xt|When Mozart wrote [[Requiem (Mozart)|his Requiem]]}} rather than {{!xt|When Mozart wrote his [[Requiem (Mozart)|Requiem]]}}, or {{Xt|Previn conducted [[Requiem (Mozart)|Mozart's Requiem]]}} rather than {{!xt|Previn conducted Mozart's [[Requiem (Mozart)|Requiem]]}} – this makes it clear the link is to the article on Mozart's Requiem in particular, rather than that on requiems in general. The link target and the link label do not have to correspond to each other, but the link must be as intuitive as possible. Thus, one may have a link "{{xt|[[Danube|second-longest European river]]}}" with the target article [[Danube]]. For further detail, refer to the section {{section link||Piped links}}.
