The metafilter style bugs me but I can see it's part of MeFi's quirky charm. Good luck with researching stuff on Wikipedia. I have never managed to end up reading less than 10 articles simultaneously any time I've dipped in. I can ignore the wiki style links.

Good luck with researching stuff on Wikipedia. I have never managed to end up reading less than 10 articles simultaneously any time I’ve dipped in.

What doesn't go away is how the linking encourages ADD-style wiki-browsing. That does tend to make a research session less productive, though possibly more fun.

So most of the time the links are useless. What would be interessting is how many people click on that kind of link. And if the click by mistake or not. But is wikipedia studying that kind of behavior? Yesss that’s true. and there is enough language translator, on the web, widget ones etc… So most of the time the links are useless.

You admit yourself that too many links get's annoying. I follow links to unfamiliar terms myself but some of the words linked in Wikipedia are just silly. Anyone with enough command of English to read the article would know what they meant. That is a good point Tellos but I suppose the question still stands – where do you draw the line?

That's why i like tags in a separated-box.
