{{Edit COI}}
Based on the rough observation of the change logs, the summary table of the 17 linkage criteria has been added on around 2014. On April 26-27, 2024, as there are only 6 linkage criteria with their own Wiki pages. An effort, very new to the Wiki edit requirements, has been made to add a Wiki pages to a linkage criteria. Instead of just deleting the link to this new Wiki page, the existing linkage criteria has been deleted by the Wiki editor as well. Thus, the summary table constructed in 2014 of the 17 linkage criteria has now become 16 linkage criteria.
The main problem of over-deleting the record is that this can be abused by others intentionally to eliminate their competitors, and have the potential to cause serious loss of information for Wiki. Assume that there are three commercial products, A, B, and C, for a biological test experiment listed in Wiki. Supposed that the product A wants to eliminate products B and C in the Wiki list. Simply, product A can do cite-spamming for products B and C. The Wiki Editor will easily notice that there are cite-spamming for products B and C. Thus, in according with the Wiki practice for this page, the Wiki Editor will delete the Products B and C from Wiki. As a result, Product A will become the sole product listed in Wiki for that biological test experiment.
The above imaged case is to highlight that existing records before any possible cite-spamming should not be affected, and should be kept intact. Otherwise, old records as old as ten years can be easily deleted, and people of bad intention may just abuse the Wiki system in another way by using the Wiki Editor to delete their possible competitors in the Wiki.
Looking forward to the attention by the Wiki people who really care about how to do the best practice for the Wiki. It is understood that each organization has its own practices, and someone may not fully understand all these rules very well and thus overlook some rules. Yet, the consequence of over-deleting may become even much more serious than those guys who are just starting the learning process for the Wiki edit functions and still yet to understand all its many rules.
