Over-linking and over-formatting
Hello, Ascribed! I see you've done a lot of work on the article for The Big Family Cooking Showdown, but I wanted to give you a heads up about your tendency to over-link and over-format content. The general rule of thumb on the English Wikipedia is that we link terms that readers might not understand, but avoid linking common terms; per WP:LINK. In particular, pay attention to the section on what should not be linked. Moreover, once a term is linked, that's sufficient in an article, unless it's very long, at which time we might add a second link well down the page. Linking terms like team, main course and similar ordinary cooking terms is inappropriate, particularly repeatedly. Similarly, you tend to over-format; I have just simplified the formatting of the table (text always aligns left, not center), and the descriptions of the three rounds. This makes them easier to read, and takes much less space on the screen. I have yet to work on the critical reception section, but will re-format the quotes to align to wiki guidelines. Please resist the urge to restore formatting and links that aren't to policy. -- -- Dr. Margi  ✉  19:24, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
