Please, why "generally don't do wlinks to countries"? It is very clear that people interested in Ontario would be interested in Canada (and specifically, a map showing all of Canada's provinces and territories, to see Ontario's relative position in the country). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pollymarie (talk • contribs) 04:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Because its outlined in Wikipedia's Manual of Style's section on wikilinking (MOS:LINK) that we should generally be limiting the wikilinks employed to the ones that "are needed to aid understanding of the article" (seen in MOS:UNDERLINK).


 * That Manual of Style further goes on to state, "Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are usually not linked: The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian). While relevance plays a role in the placement of wikilinks (and in saying that, relevance, and the degree of what one considers "particularly relevant" is debatable), MOS:LINK makes it pretty clear the primary purpose of wikilinks is to provide context, or background for potential jargon (which the term Canada would definitely not fall under, given as how major countries was given as a typical example of what not to link). If you really want it linked, I'd suggest continuing discussing this on the actual article's talk page (y'know, bring in more users to get a better consensus of what people think).
