Linking throughwith [[Hyperlink|hyperlinks]] is an important feature of Wikipedia. Internal links (or '"wikilinks'") bind the project together into an interconnected whole. Links provide instant pathways to locations within the project that are likely to increase our readers' understanding of the topic at hand. You can read more aboutlearned how to add them [[Help:Introductionduring tothe editingEditing withsection VisualEditor/3|here]]of this tutorial.
ForTo determine how many internal links to include in an article, you want to ask yourself, "Would a reader of this subject be interested in that other article? Does it help explain a concept that is only briefly described in this article, or that may be unfamiliar to a reader?". Typically, the first instance of an important word should be linked to the relevant article on that topic.
External links (to other websites other than Wikipedia) can be added in the '"External links'" section, along with a short description. These should only be included only if they are highly relevant or provide more detail than the article has space for. Websites used as references to support the article's content should instead be put in the '"References'" section.
