Line 151:
** Many articles deal with several aspects of a subject, and very often a link only tends to invoke one of them. So we should really be liberal with redirects, which are at least standard ways to simplify invoking one article. The practice of putting a link to an article with different anchor text is very hard to translate to a paper version. If CD is like paper, one thing that we may have to do is rephrase sentences that don't use the proper article title or a reasonable redirect as their anchor text.
**: Simple solution to anchor text not equal to article name: footnote or parentheses saying "see X", e.g. "one of the best things about great apes (see Primates) is that they're great." Not amazingly elegant, but seems okay, and wouldn't require much work.
* And lastly, the eternal problem of links that fail to lead to existing articles due to spelling, capitalization, or failure to follow Wikipedia standards.
