To determine how many internal links to include in an article, 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 (but not subsequent instances) of an important word should be linked to the relevant article on that topic. Take care not to overlink,include or[[Wikipedia:Manual excessivelyof Style/Linking#Overlinking|too repeatmany links]], which detracts from readability and makes it harder for the reader to tell which links are most relevant for understanding the article's subject.
