Overlinking

[edit]

Hi Weyinmi18 - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Kingdom of Warri, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in an article, and we do not normally link:-

  • Everyday words understood by most readers.
  • Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
  • Common units of measurement and dates

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to reduce overlinking, not increase it - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 11:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
