Oxygen toxicity
Because when the Oxygen toxicity article was developed (late 2008/early 2009), Hyperoxia had been a redirect to oxygen toxicity for the previous four years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyperoxia&action=history

So the only useful link was to the dictionary definition of hyperoxia (which was in wiktionary of course).

The current hyperoxia article arguably contains nothing that's not already in the oxygen toxicity article, apart from the dictionary definition. I can't see that your change gives the reader any more information than they had before, but I won't worry over it. --RexxS (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * You won't worry, but you will leave a passive aggressive post about it. Linking to the other article is certainly no more useless than the link to Wiktionary, which is essentially the same as the sentence in which the interwiki link was found. Shall we link to a redundant phrase, or a redundant article?  Well, as a user, I wanted the article, to see if there was anything else. -BalthCat (talk) 11:04, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't be so fucking rude. There's nothing passive-aggressive about explaining why Wiktionary was the obvious choice when the link was made, after you left the edit summary "why wiktionary? wtf". So now you know. Did you find anything else in the article? Thought not. --RexxS (talk) 14:55, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Clearly I interpreted your message not as motivated in a spirit of education but rather in passive aggressiveness. After a brief explanation of the former status quo, "your change sucks, but I won't worry about it" seems pretty rude to me.  You could have just explained and left it at that, or even reverted my change.  (It would have mystified me, because Wiktionary is, as I said, practically the same as the sentence in which the link is found, whereas at least the other allegedly superfluous article has more allegedly redundant information to benefit the reader in case they hadn't made it to the bottom of the first article yet.  However it wasn't, and isn't, that important to me.)  Your "I won't lose sleep over it"/"whatever makes you happy" tack is not a friend-maker.  Neither is your smug "Thought not", as if I've gone back to weigh the articles on their merit.  (I haven't & won't.)  This is a lesson to me, though, not to be flippant in my edit summaries, in case someone misunderstands my rhetorical "wtf" for otherwise and takes it as an excuse to "educate" and belittle me.
