Use of links from one article to another

edit

Generally speaking, an article should link to another only if one or both of the following applies: the linked article contains further information on the subject of the linking article, or the linked article explains the meaning of a term used in the linking article which many readers won't understand. Anyone reading the article 2019 Africa Cup of Nations won't find any information about that competition in the article Algeria, nor is it likely that many people will need to read the article Algeria in order to find out what "Algeria" is, so it should not be linked. Not only are such links unnecessary, but they can actually be harmful, ans they can be distracting, and can cause readers to waste their time following links that provide no relevant information, and actually reduce the likelihood that they will follow other links that do provide relevant information.
