Links in Heading

Please note that heading are not to include links per WP:LINKSTYLE, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 19:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MilborneOne: Actually, that policy hasn't been held for these pages for about a decade now. For some reason, all these pages are consistent in using them. James F. (talk) 02:15, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not all of them only some of the more recent ones in the 1990s and 2000s a quick check shows most of the British honours pages are OK and dont have links. MilborneOne (talk) 09:33, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They should have links in the headings because there is nowhere else to link to the actual awards. These lists are long enough without adding an extra sentence about the award with text used to link to the main article. It's just common sense - WP:IAR. —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
