::*{{tq|embedded or inline direct linking, a fundamental hypertext Internet objective since day one of hypertext's existence}} - If I understand you correctly, you're saying that hyperlinks are a fundamental part of the Internet. I completely agree, and they're ''even more important'' on this website in particular because of how they integrate pages into the rest of the encyclopedia. For the reasons I hope I've made clear above, internal links are preferred more than external links for this purpose.
::I hope I've made my reasons for why I prefer the article's links as they are now clear, and I hope we can arrive at a consensus quickly. [[User:APerson|APerson]] ([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 03:30, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
:::{{u|APerson}}, There are presently nine or so redlinks in the APL Programming article. Roughly 60 days or so ago, all of those redlinks pointed to valid internal Wikipedia web pages. Today none of them exist in Wikipedia. If Wikipedia sees fit to delete nine of its web pages for "good reason" as you so assuredly indicate and those internal web pages are utterly gone, what are you expecting, that someone should immediately '''re-create new''' Wikipedia web-pages under those identical Wikipedia monikers, with perhaps the same text as was in them when Wikipedia deleted them? Deleting nine former valid Wikipedia web pages makes internal Wikipedia sources '''more''' reliable? You talk about integrating web pages, yet Wikipedia is apparently dis-integrating web pages. It wasn't just one or two Wikipedia web pages, it was nine. And you've completely glossed over the inconvenience to Wikipedia's readership at having to go to the External Links section instead of simply clicking on an external link.
