Edits making links inline

Systematically going back through posts and making every link inline does not necessarily improve the wiki. There are a couple of instances where it has the opposite effect:

  • where the link is in a block of text and replacing the full link, eg., https://wiki.archlinux.org/tmux with this means that the link can get "buried" and the target is obscured.
  • where the link is standalone and points to an obvious location so there is no need to mouse over the link to determine the destination (see above example).

Editorial: Additionally, if your edits are being rejected, please pause and reflect before continuing on your relentless path of delinkification...
