Use of wikilinks
Generally speaking, an article should link to another article only if one or both of the following applies: the linked article contains further information on the topic of the article containing the link, or it provides an explanation of a term which is used in the linking article and for which readers are likely to need an explanation. It is a mistake to link words where that doesn't apply. For example, nobody reading the article China Harbour Engineering Company is likely to need to look up what "Europe" means in order to understand that article, so Europe shouldn't be linked. Adding unnecessary links is not merely not helpful, it can actually be harmful, because research has established that the more irrelevant or only marginally relevant links there are in an article, the less likely readers are to find the relevant links.

February 2023
Hello, I'm Mako001. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Electricity sector in Nigeria, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 11:51, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
