| I believe there is need for a wiki-wide 'linking" style and see three currently in use:
| | #REDIRECT [[FamilySearch Wiki:Manual of Style#Links]] |
| | |
| #Link directly to the site mentioned using the name of the site as the hot link, e.g., "[http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/ The Illinois Newspaper Project] web page includes a ..." | |
| #Describe the site, hit two carriage returns and add the text of the url, then hot-link the text of the URL, e.g., "The Illinois Newspaper Project web page can be found here: <br> [http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/ http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/]
| |
| #Mention the site and then put the words "web site" in parenthesis and hot link the words "web site", e.g., "The Illinois Newspaper Project ([http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/ web site]) includes a..."OR "The Illinois Newspaper Project [http://www.library.illinois.edu/inp/ <sup>web site</sup>] includes a..."<sup></sup>

| All three get the job done, but which one is best for this wiki?<br>

| :I would have thought this was in the manual of style already. I did not find it, but would interpret the style as implied as #1. Other links, such as WorldCat, FHLC, and others follow this style. This would be my vote . . . putting the actual link "hidden" behind the title as in #1. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 19:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
