Line 102:
Potholing ''part'' of a word is an accessibility sin, especially if different parts of the same word are potholed to different links. Not only is it difficult for somebody with less-than-perfect motor control to select a small target link in the middle of other links, it looks bad in the default wiki interface because the wiki flags external links. Multiple external links in a single word can make the word [https://www.example.com un][https://www.example.org read][https://www.example.net a][https://www.example.com ble], so don't do it.
Finally, '''don't link to TV Tropes for ''any'' reason'''. Some of the staff there still go into frothing apoplexy at the very thought of All The Tropes' mere existence, and we don't want to stress the poor dears any more than they already are. If we absolutely need to link to TV Tropes (such as on the work page for that site), a mod has already done so. If you want to list a trope they have and we don't, which you think is absolutely indispensable, create your own version of it in the [[:Category:Trope Workshop|Trope Workshop]] and link to ''that'' when it passes muster. And ''don't'' link to a TV Tropes page because you can't be bothered to find the page here because it's been renamed or we've capitalized or punctuated it differently.<ref>Don't laugh. This has happened.</ref>
