Why wikilinks are considered harmful

[edit]

Every time a page is moved ,all the wikilinks thatincorrectlypoint to the old site will now point to a redirect ,making the servers pull uptwo pages in a row.
All of these actions waste valuable server resources .
TrueWikipediansneverneedlinksanyway.Thatiswhatthesearch barwasinventedfor.
- And all of that scrolling is good for their fingers .
Wikilinks create many problems for readers using smartphones or other touch screen devices ,as they make it difficult to scroll through an article without accidentally clicking on a link .This can be frustrating if pages load slowly on readers'devices .

Somewhat ironically ,this page is a perfect example of the harms of wikilinks .^{[among whom?]}^{[according to whom?]}^{[attribution needed]}^{[by whom?]}^{[from whom?]}^{[like whom?]}^{[to whom?]}^[who?]^{[with whom?]}^[ambiguous]^{[clarification needed]}^[timeframe?]^{[needs context]}^{[expand acronym]}^{[incomprehensible]}^{[key needed]}^{[non sequitur]}^{[sentence fragment]}^{[which calendar?]}^{[Chinese script needed]}‹ThetemplateCopyright violation is beingconsidered for merging.› ^{[copyright violation?]}^{[infringing link?]}[data missing]^{[disambiguation needed]}^{[inappropriate external link?]}^{[improve caption]}^{[needs IPA]}^{[original research?]}^{[pronunciation?]}^{[native script needed]}^{[spam link?]}Remove all and change^{[improper synthesis?]}^{[under discussion]}^[spelling?]^{[whose translation?]}^[buzzword]^{[compared to?]}^{[editorializing]}^{[fact or opinion?]}^[opinion]^{[peacock prose]}^{[neutrality isdisputed]}^[promotion?]^{[unbalanced opinion?]}^{[weasel words]}^{[by how much?]}^{[when defined as?]}^{[definition needed]}^{[example needed]}^{[further explanation needed]}^[how?]^{[how often?]}^[misquoted]^[quantify]^[specify]^[vague]^[when?]^[where?]^[which?]^{[who else?]}^[why?]^{[year needed]}^{[excessive detail?]}^{[importance?]}^[relevant?]^{[undue weight? –discuss]}^[globalize]^{[infobox clutter? –discuss]}^{[anachronism]}^[timeframe?]^{[may be outdated]}^{[is this date calibrated?]}^{[needs update]}^{[needs update]}^{[contradictory]}^{[disputed –discuss]}^{[dubious –discuss]}^{[inconsistent]}^{[needs independent confirmation]}^{[speculation?]}^{[bare URL]}^{[bare URL non-HTML file]}^{[bare URL AV media file]}^{[bare URL PDF]}^{[bare URL image file]}^{[bare URL DOC/DOCX file]}^{[bare URL plain text file]}^{[bare URL spreadsheet file]}^{[author incomplete]}^{[author missing]}^{[date missing]}^{[dead link]}^{[edition needed]}^{[episode needed]}^{[full citation needed]}^{[incomplete short citation]}^{[ISBN missing]}^{[moved resource?]}^{[page needed]}^{[permanent dead link]}^{[place missing]}^{[publisher missing]}^{[season and episode needed]}^{[time needed]}^{[title incomplete]}^{[title missing]}^{[unused reference]}^{[volume & issue needed]}^{[year missing]}^{[additional citation(s) needed]}^{[better source needed]}^{[better source needed]}^{[check quotation syntax]}^{[chronology citation needed]}^{[circular reference]}^{[citation needed]}^{[citation not found]}^{[close paraphrasing]}^{[conflicted source?]}^{[deprecated source?]}^{[excessive citations]}^{[failed verification]}^{[image reference needed]}^{[irrelevant citation]}^{[medical citation needed]}^{[not specific enough to verify]}^{[not verified in body]}^{[obsolete source]}^{[page range too broad]}^{[non-primary source needed]}^{[promotional source?]}^{[This quote needs a citation]}^{[need quotation to verify]}^{[scientific citation needed]}^{[self-published source?]}^{[non-tertiary source needed]}^{[independent source needed]}^{[unreliable fringe source?]}^{[unreliable medical source?]}^{[unreliable source?]}^[verify]^{[verification needed]}^[buzzword]^{[colloquialism]}^{[needs copy edit]}^[idiom]^[neologism?]^[jargon]^[tone]
