*'''When linking a wiki page to a web page outside the wiki, do it ''once. '''''It's okay to add multiple links from a wiki page to various unique pages on another site if each of those pages lends value to the reader of the wiki article. However, if multiple links from a wiki page led to a single page on another site, the links would be redundant, and would usually constitute link spamming.   

*'''Don't add listings or links of individual researchers to topic pages'''; add them to directory pages instead. In other words, don't add an entry to a topic page like [[Ohio Vital Records|Ohio Vital Records]] that says ''"Joe Genius is a professional genealogist who does fee-based vital records lookups in Ohio vital records. Click here to go to his user page and see his services and fee schedule." ''Instead, add to [[Ohio Vital Records|Ohio Vital Records]] a link to the directory page [[Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research|Professional Genealogists Who Specialize in Ohio Research]]. Then link from the directory page to Joe Genius' user page.
