Deliberate redundancy

[edit]

The list of IFEX supporters includes:

  • (a) an internal link to the Wikipedia article about the organization or institution -- clicking on the full name of the institution
  • (b) an internal link to the Wikipedia article about the organization or institution -- clicking on the acronym
  • (c) an external link to the institution's web page

In my view, the redundancy of the first two links is sensible. In addition to providing clickable access to the related page, the blue color informs the reader that the acronym link can be used in future if needed. I think this presents a reasonable exception to conventional practice which tends to disfavor redundancies.

In this context, my question becomes: If this does not represent something good, why not? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 23:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
