Text of the page (random words):
should not be linked unless the website itself is the topic of the article see official links or the link is part of an inline reference see wikipedia citing sources bibliographic citations should normally cite the most authoritative source for the publication e g a copy of the newspaper article on the original newspaper s website rather than a copy on someone s blog but may add a link to a free version if one is available and not a copyright violation non english language content shortcut wp nonengel outside of citations 6 external links to english language content are strongly preferred in the english language wikipedia it may be appropriate to have a link to a non english language site such as when an official site is unavailable in english or when the link is to the subject s text in its original language or when the site contains visual aids such as maps diagrams or tables per the guideline on non english language sites when linking to a site in a non english language under the exceptions above label the link with in lang available for most languages using two letter language codes for example in lang es in lang fr etc place the language label after the link e g https de wikipedia org german wikipedia in lang de note that this guideline does not apply to references see verifiability non english sources for wikipedia s standards for published reliable sources that are not written in english redirection sites url redirection sites are not to be used examples of these sites include tinyurl com tiny cc and the tk top level domain most of these sites are listed in the m spam blacklist because they are frequently abused by link spammers which means that it is not possible to save a page that contains such a link because url redirection sites are added to the blacklist whenever abuse occurs you may create problems for future editors by using them adding links to web proxies is prohibited for a similar reason instead one should add a link to the original url it is generally preferred to link to the exact destination of a link for instance if example com is an automatic redirect to example org example it is better to link to the exact page even if the webmaster considers the redirect address to be more official rich media shortcut wp richmedia it is acceptable to link to pages rendered in normal html or plain text but this is not always the case with pages using rich media formats which may be incompatible with many users settings and browsers check that the content type of the linked page is text html text plain or application xhtml xml or another xhtml content type as some pages may instead be rendered solely by platform dependent plugins try to avoid directly linking to any content that requires special software or an add on to a browser it is always preferred to link to a page rendered in normal html that contains embedded links to the rich media where a link to rich media is deemed appropriate either as a direct link or embedded within an html page an explicit indication of the technology needed to access the relevant content must be given as in the following examples jimmy wales the birth of wikipedia july 2005 on ted 20 01 minutes html5 berkowitz joel avrom goldfaden and the modern yiddish theater the bard of old constantine pdf pakn treger no 44 winter 2004 10 19 note that mediawiki software will provide small icons for several types of outgoing links such as the pdf example above but text that makes it explicit is still helpful for the reader if an external link is to a page that automatically plays music or other sounds when visited please add the template plays audio as a courtesy according to the principle of least surprise linking to user submitted video sites shortcuts wp youtube wp yt see also wikipedia video links wp youtube redirects here for the essay on wikipedia is not youtube see wp notyoutube for wikiproject youtube see wp ytp for the use of youtube as a source see wp rspyt while there is no blanket ban on linking to youtube or other user submitted video sites the links must abide by the guidelines on this page see restrictions on linking and links normally to be avoided many videos hosted on youtube or similar sites do not meet the standards for inclusion in external links sections and copyright is of particular concern many youtube videos of newscasts shows or other content of interest to wikipedia visitors are copyright violations and should not be linked either in the article or in citations links should be evaluated for inclusion with due care on a case by case basis links to online videos should also identify additional software necessary for readers to view the content avoid undue weight on particular points of view shortcut wp elpov on articles with multiple points of view avoid providing links too great in number or weighted to one point of view or that give undue weight to minority views add comments to these links informing the reader of their point of view if one point of view dominates informed opinion that should be represented first for more information see wikipedia neutral point of view in particular wikipedia s guidelines on undue weight linking to wikidata shortcut wp elwd wikidata should not be linked to within the body of an article except in the manner of hidden comment s mentioning the q number for further information see this discussion note that the wikidata item sidebar item also links to the relevant item when sitelinked official links shortcut wp elofficial an official link is a link to a website or other internet service that meets both of the following criteria the linked content is controlled by the subject organization or individual person of the wikipedia article the linked content primarily covers the area for which the subject of the article is notable official links if any are provided to give the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself these links are normally exempt from the links normally to be avoided but they are not exempt from the restrictions on linking for example although links to websites that require readers to register or pay to view content are normally not acceptable in the external links section such a link may be included when it is an official website for the subject this exemption does not allow for additional official links such as those found on fundraising websites official links are still subject to standard formatting requirements such as rich media labeling and not placing links in the text of the article when an official website is used as a source to verify a self published statement in the article text it should be formatted like any other reference used in the article 6 official websites may be included in some infoboxes and by convention are listed first in the external links section use of the template official website is optional no official link exists for many articles fansites including everything from websites run by fans of a musician to a charitable organization supporting patients with a disease even if they are endorsed or authorized by the subject are not considered official websites because the subject of the article cannot control the information being presented links to websites that are not considered official websites may still be justifiable under other sections of this guideline e g links to consider 4 web sites sometimes get hijacked or hacked this is often done to serve malware if an official site is serving malware its url should be hidden until the website is cleaned up this can usually be accomplished by commenting out the website using the procedure at help hidden text along with a note in the comment explaining that the official site is a malware site the website could also be inserted by an infobox in which referring to the infobox s documentation can be useful in finding out how to suppress the automatic link if you suppress a site s url please leave a comment explaining why you did so using the hidden text feature minimize the number of links shortcuts wp elminofficial wp elmin normally only one official link is included if the subject of the article has more than one official website then more than one link may be appropriate under a very few limited circumstances 8 however wikipedia does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject s web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites complete directories lead to clutter and to placing undue emphasis on what the subject says more than one official link should be provided only when the additional links provide the reader with significant unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites for example if the main page of the official website for an author contains a link to the author s blog and twitter feed then it is not appropriate to provide links to all three instead provide only the main page of the official website in this situation in other situations it may sometimes be appropriate to provide more than one link such as when a business has one website for the corporate headquarters and another for consumer information choose the minimum number of links that provide readers with the maximum amount of information links that provide consistent information are strongly preferred to social networking and communication services where the content changes rapidly and may not comply with this guideline at any given moment in time wikipedia does not exist to facilitate corporate communication strategies or other forms of marketing longevity of links shortcut wp eldead it is very important to consider whether the link is likely to remain relevant and acceptable to the article in the foreseeable future for example it is not useful to link to a webpage that changes often and merely happens to have a relevant picture or article on its front page at the moment consider locating and linking to permalink versions of web content and trying to find resources that have a commitment to keeping content available at the same address what can be done with a dead external link main pages wikipedia citing sources preventing and repairing dead links and wikipedia link rot links to dead urls in a list of external links are of no use to wikipedia articles such dead links should either be updated or removed in rare cases such as the official website for a notable political campaign it may be better to replace the dead link with a link to an archived copy of the website note however that the matter is different for references which link to archived webpages far more often it may be worth checking to see if there is a working version of the link in an earlier version of the article some dead links are caused by vandalism for example a vandal may disable links to products competing with the vandal s favored product some instances of this type of vandalism are quite subtle such as replacing ascii letters in the url with identical looking cyrillic letters hijacked and re registered sites urls can be hijacked or re registered for a different purpose after a domain name registration expires 9 even if the url seems to remain valid it still works if it no longer points to the desired information then it needs to be handled as a dead link how to link see also help url these directions show how to create a link in the classic wikitext editor if you are using the visualeditor editing environment see wikipedia visualeditor user guide editing links for directions external links are enclosed in single square brackets rather than double brackets as with internal links with the optional link text separated from the url by a space not a as with internal links example of link with no text code and output markup renders as https example com 1 example of link containing text https example com the rfc mandated example com website the rfc mandated example com website all text following a space is taken as the text to use for the link embedding wikilinks into the link text is incorrect instead choose the appropriate words to link the request for comments rfc mandated https example com example com website the rfc mandated example com website if there are no meaningful words that can be used for the link a link with no text is preferred to using self referential link text such as click here or this link these types of self references should be avoided specifying protocols see also help link http and https http or https should be explicitly specified as appropriate for the target site preferring https where available the linking style www without protocol is obsolete and should not be used in external links external links section shortcuts wp elcite wp elorder see also wikipedia manual of style layout external links the external links section is one of the optional standard appendices and footers which appear in a defined order at the bottom of the article the heading should be external links plural even when only a single link is listed the standard format is to place the links in a bulleted list under the heading if you include an official website place it at the top of the list for example external links https example com official website https example net link interview with subject in example magazine https example org repository subject subject s papers at example museum thus most external links should present details different from citations for instance a concise description of the contents and a clear indication of its source is more important than the actual title of the page and access dates are not appropriate in the external links section do not use cite web or other citation templates in the external links section citation templates are permitted in the further reading section templates for external links shortcuts wp elt wp eltemp see also category external link templates and template external links some templates exist for linking to wikimedia foundation projects such as wikimedia commons commons is an example of a graphical template that is commonly used to link to wikimedia commons all such templates have inline versions e g commons inline or you may choose to link to them exactly like you would link to any other website see wikipedia wikimedia sister projects when to link for further information templates may be used for other commonly linked websites these templates sometimes permit quick correction of many links if the target website is reorganized and some of them are popular for use in infoboxes do not create large graphical templates for non wmf websites even if these websites are also wikis all templates except those for wmf sister projects should produce a normal single line text based external link without any favicons bold faced text custom bullets or other unusual formatting see typical examples at emedicine and allmusic srlink will create either a wiklink or external link depending on wh...
