Comments[edit]

I wikified it as best as I could. However, I am not a lawyer and Wikipedia does not have very many legal definitions for linking. For example, mitigation lead to a huge article on Environmental Mitigation, as if that is the entire meaning of mitigation. (Same problem with the word "evole" by the way: all roads lead to Evolution).

Anyway, I think a legal person should look at this and make sure terms are used correctly etc. KarenAnn 22:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've redirected many of the links to the articles on legal topics. In the case of mitigation, this redirected to environmental mitigation, which has a link at the top directing one to the correct legal article on extenuating circumstances. The same is also true of evolution, btw; note the link to evolution (disambiguation) at the top.

When generally writing an article, excessive wikilinking is discouraged. Only terms that are central to the article should be linked to (or for which a further explanation would help understanding of this article), and should only be linked no more than once per article section.

BTW, there's a wikilink style guide on these issues: Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context. Postdlf 00:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
