Blooncyclopedia:Style guide: Difference between revisions

*In the source editor, try to optimize links as much as possible. For example, you can use <code><nowiki>[[Monkey]]</nowiki>s</code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Monkey|Monkeys]]</nowiki></code> to render the link text in plural form. (See [[Help:Links]] for more information.)

**If you need to link to a subsection and it has a redirect, just link to the redirect instead of using a piped link. For example, use <code><nowiki>[[Paragon power]]</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[Paragon#Power|Paragon power]]</nowiki></code> when linking to the section about Paragon power. That way, the link doesn't need to be updated in case the section is split into its own article at a later point.

*Avoid having multiple links directly adjacent to each other (what's called a "sea of blue"). For example, <code><nowiki>[[Camo Bloon|Camo]] [[Ceramic Bloon|Ceramic]] [[Bloon]]</nowiki></code> ([[Camo Bloon|Camo]] [[Ceramic Bloon|Ceramic]] [[Bloon]]) makes it difficult to tell at a glance that each word links to a separate article. Two adjacent links is acceptable, but any more than that is excessive. Consider using more specific links (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Camo Bloon|Camo]] [[Ceramic Bloon]]</nowiki></code>) or rephrasing the article to introduce one of the links earlier.
