Editing Brighter Shores:Style guide (section)

===Internal links===
* It is not necessary to link an article each time it reappears in a page. For example, [[bucket]] may be mentioned five times on a particular page. You should only have to link to bucket once: the first time it is mentioned. You can link to articles more than once if the page is very long. If linking the first instance of a term would create a "chain of links" (see [[#chains-of-links|below]]) and the term is one which is generally well understood (e.g. "quest" or "experience"), then it is fine to leave the first instance unlinked. 
* When a profession is linked to, the proper name of the profession should be used, rather than a short form or different spelling of it. Instead of saying "<code><nowiki>this item can be [[Forager|foraged]] by...</nowiki></code>" you should state "<code><nowiki>this item can be obtained through the [[Forager]] skill by ...</nowiki></code>."
* Piped link formats for simple plurals are generally unnecessary. For example, use <code><nowiki>[[bucket]]s</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[bucket|buckets]]</nowiki></code>.
* On the other hand, use <code><nowiki>[[thief|thieves]]</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>[[thief]]s</nowiki></code> when appropriate. Don't be afraid to use a piped link when necessary, particularly if avoiding them contorts the language unnecessarily, or introduces spelling or grammatical errors into the article. Piped links have legitimate uses in an article.
* When including wiki-links in an article, there is no need to use underscores, since the software produces them automatically.
* Do not place the last letters of a plural outside of a link that already has alternate text. For example, <code><nowiki>[[Eel (skill node)|eels]]</nowiki></code> should be used instead of <code><nowiki>[[Eel (skill node)|eel]]s</nowiki></code>.
* {{Anchor|chains-of-links}}When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link, as in <code><nowiki>[[Welcome to the Guard]] [[quest]]</nowiki></code>, as this makes it harder for users to identify where they are going to be directed to when clicking a link. Consider rephrasing the sentence to break up the links instead. If it is not possible to do this without using unnatural phrasing then do not link every word/phrase and only link the significant word/phrase, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Welcome to the Guard]] quest</nowiki></code>. Dates should always have links for both the day of the month and year.
