Internal links
Items in Wikipedia articles can be linked to other Wikipedia articles that provide information that significantly adds to readers' understanding of the topic. This can be done directly ("Ant", which results in "Ant"), or through a piped link ("five new species", which results in "five new species" in the text, but still links to the article "Ant").
Internal links add to the cohesion and utility of Wikipedia by allowing readers to deepen their understanding of a topic by conveniently accessing other articles. These links should be included where it is most likely that readers might want to use them; for example, in article leads, the beginnings of new sections, table cells, and image captions. Generally, where it is likely that a reader may wish to read about another topic, the reader should not have to hunt for a link elsewhere in the page.
 
Links add to the cohesion by conveniently accessing other article.  Therefore, linking to non-existant pages detracts from cohesion and convenience. Reverting to links non-existant is a violation of this policy.  IrishLass0128 18:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't address issues or editors using assumptions.  You are supposed to show good faith in working with other editors.  You seem to not understand that based on how you have treated this editor.IrishLass0128 20:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Not really, considering a null edit does the same thing as editing the talk page.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 17:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It counts as a mainspace edit. Either way, it's annoying to come across a conversation through edit summaries. That's what the damn talk page is for. Grsz11 18:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been the practice for a while to just talk using edit summaries, not sure why but it's the way it's been done on these roster templates.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 18:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Null edits 

message: Neither the NFL page, nor the team's site or any other source lists him on the roster anymore! (They all removed him around week 3 this season!) 
If I remember correctly we never had a DNR before in this template, so how do we move forward with it? Maybe DNR's don't need to get cut officially?
Whatsoever, Stafford is NOT on the roster anymore. And I think in case of doubt we should go by the actual roster and not by updating through transaction reports.
Is this an roster template or a "we list players unless somebody remembers to write a cut notice" template?
I am not trying to fuck you up, but I think you are wrong in this case.

message: To the person reverting me from different IPs each time, "return specialist" IS NOT a roster position. These roster templates are for the position the player is listed as. There is not roster listing for return specialist. Even long snapper is an actual listed roster position, but return specialist is not because most returners have a primary roster position they play.--Rockchalk717 20:39, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
