Wikipedia doesn't use Allwiki
It should be noted that this guideline is in dynamic tension with Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context guideline. This means that Wikipedia does not use Allwiki. Allwiki is the idea that all the words, phrases or expressions are links to Wikipedia or Wiktionary articles. The Wikipedia community considered and rejected the Allwiki concept, settling instead on a balance between building the web and only making links which are relevant to the context.
An example of Allwiki:
- Allwiki is the idea that people create pages where all of the words, sentences or expressions are links to Wikipedia or Wiktionary articles.
We want to build the web, but we don't want it to collapse under its own weight!
