This requirement for *Masterwork* is a little absurd, unless pages need to be created for every variation of the name of the article. Not only is the improper link formatting, but there are many possiblites when the use of <nowiki>{{l|linkname}}</nowiki> simple doesn't work properly. The requirement does say "except where a link to another namespace is required," which I suppose covers my previous statement; even then, if there is going to be such a huge exception, why even use it at all? Not only would it be easier to just use proper link formatting, but articles would be more standardized (which this Wiki '''badly''' needs).

This wiki is in sad shape, not only would this Quality page would be considered tattered (in my opinion,lacks information, information is unclear), there isn't even a <s>[[Manual of Style]]</s> [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] here!

I won't change any of the current <nowiki>{{l|linkname}}</nowiki> links on pages I edit, but until there is actually some standardization here, I'll be using <nowiki>[[pagename|linkname]]</nowiki> [[User:Gzalzi|Gzalzi]] 20:09, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

::Ah, well the reasoning because the use of the "L" template does make sense, and I will use it.

::The subjectiveness of the Quality page is the problem I have with it. If you're going to define rules, they should be able to be applied as rules. The definitions of what makes an article good and what makes it bad need to be much more clear, or some of the requirements needs to be changed around, though I don't have any specific suggestions at this time. --[[User:Gzalzi|Gzalzi]] 21:40, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

:::The <nowiki>{{L}}</nowiki> template has been obsoleted (by integrating its functionality into MediaWiki itself), so this should no longer be an issue. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
