After creating an article on an obscure historic site the burning question becomes: "What will link here now?"

Never fear, you can create the incoming links yourself, provided they aren't out of context or frivilous. Some ideas on where to create internal links leading to your new article about a historic district or contributing property are below.


 * The city or town the district is located in. The link can go, either, in the body of the article (where appropriate) or in the ==See also== section, if there isn't one just create it!


 * Often, and this is especially true in lesser populated areas, a significant historic district is of consequence for an entire county. Place an incoming link on the page for the county the district is located in, follow the same methods you would for placing a link in the city.


 * Architects provide a good place to link an article from, again, either in text or see also. If the architect doesn't have an article try to find another structure that was designed by the same architect and place the link on that page's See also section.


 * Historical people who are affiliated with the property involved can also provide a place to lay down incoming links. If the site is Bob Wilson's House in the Chimichanga Historic District, find Bob Wilson's article and link his house from there.
