Why isn’t every word in a Wikipedia article ‘blue linked’. That is, how is something deemed as worth being linked to its own article?
In: Other
The Wikipedia Manual of Style contains a [section on overlinking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Overlinking) that has: “a good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you’re about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from.”
Apart from this, generally only the first occurrence of a term is linked in an article.
