Linking and continual change are both central features of ~~Wikipedia~~. However, continual change makes linking vulnerable to acquired technical faults, and to the later provision of different information from that which was originally intended. This is true of both "outgoing" links (''from'' an article) and "incoming" links (''to'' an article).

*''Outgoing links:'' These should be checked from time to time for unintended changes that are undesirable. If the opportunity arises to improve their formatting, appropriateness, and focus, this should be done.

*''Incoming links:'' Creating an article will turn blue any existing red links to its title (proper redlinks are created only in the hope that an article will eventually be written). Therefore, when creating an article, it is wise to check "What links here" to identify such redlinks, if any, and that they are appropriate.

~~<!--==Transclusion in talk pages via linking==~~

[[WP:Transclusion|Transclusion]] means the inclusion of the content of one document in another document by reference, such as by linking. It is best to use transclusion linking rather than copying entire sections, such as in talk page discussions, so as to avoid [[Wikipedia:Article_creep#Talk_page_creep|article creep]].-->
