| Oct 19, 2012 at 11:53 | comment | added | Fortiter | @jmort253 It is wonderful that you will definitively nominate one course of action (viz to edit everything into []() style). As it happens that is not my preference so I won't be launching into that project UNLESS AND UNTIL WE ESTABLISH AN AGREED COMMON STYLE. Yes I know, caps are shouting. | |
| Oct 18, 2012 at 21:43 | comment | added | jmort253 | Sure, @Fortiter, not trying to say you're question is flawed or rebut anything. I'm just pointing out how the markup was intended to be used. To answer your question more definitively, if you come across a post that needs editing, and there are links that don't look like #1, feel free to edit them to look like #1. Good luck! :) | |
| Oct 18, 2012 at 10:34 | comment | added | Fortiter | @jmort253 Sadly, that does not help at all because NONE of the options I outlined will produce "click here". While you do not intend it, you are presenting a straw argument, rebutting something I did not suggest. | |
| Oct 17, 2012 at 23:55 | comment | added | jmort253 | Hi Fortier, my update wasn't to explain how to use the markup, but more to explain how to use the markup effectively. I think the reason this came up as an issue is because people like to know where the link goes. If you include the name of the site, like Genealogy SE, then you can tell where the link goes while also making it look good, as opposed to just, "dude, click here", type responses, which tell us nothing about where the link goes. Hope this helps! | |

Sharpened language to emphasise need for a consensus to drive future action.
