As far as I understand, the MOS:OVERLINK guideline applies to the article's main text, not to the references section. In fact, several Good Article reviews for articles I've nominated have specifically requested that the magazine or website name be linked in every citation for consistency.

I have nominated several GA articles that is Overlink, once is more than enough, plus is already wikilinked on the article, more than enough. Either you WL everything or only once I rather do it only once on its first instance MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:00, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the concern about overlinking. The reason I added links in every citation is that, in at least three of my past Good Article nominations, reviewers specifically asked me to do so for consistency. It would be great to have a concrete guideline or consensus on this, because practices seem to vary. Sricsi (talk) 12:10, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I agree with you. They asked me to remove those. I never had a another problem with that, there are already a bunch of wikilinks from Billboard on the chart sections should be consistent enough MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:16, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest leaving the rest of the sources as they are for now. The reviewer can be asked during the GA process for their preference on handling wikilinks in citations. That way, the final decision aligns with their expectations. Sricsi (talk) 13:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We might skip GA and go straight for FA MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:28, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I don't know if this is written somewhere in the guidelines, but this change has been implemented on multiple lists recently (List of awards and nominations received by Lady Gaga, List of awards and nominations received by Beyoncé, List of awards and nominations received by Ariana Grande, List of awards and nominations received by Meryl Streep...).

@King10: The Meryl Streep and Beyonce are not featured lists. The other two are, but why is that changed? That's what I want to know, who made those decisions? MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 21:59, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
