:::::If you don't mind my joining in, I think you are taking words out of its context. Doc pages are just meant to have brief but vague description of the use case and teach the syntax. They don't have policy values beyond that of an essay, unless you know for sure there is consensus behind them. WP:NOTLINKFARM, WP:EL and WP:ELLAYOUT all point to the fact that external links in Wikipedia are unwanted unless they contribute significantly to the quality of the article. In its current state, the article looks like those street advertisers (I am hoping I am being polite by avoiding the commonly used word) in busy streets who would try to force a flyer into your hand, face, pocket, handbag/purse and even your paper cone of fries just to deplete their stack of flyers. They don't care that collecting these flyers for the paper recycling bin of your house is probably not the reason you came out.
