Hyper hyperlinkipedia

The use of hypertext in Wikipedia has been taken to an absurd and annoying level. I find the unnecessary links to dates, and other references which have no relevance to the subject of the article, to be a distraction and a possible waste of the readers' time following those links. A more judicious use of internal links would improve the quality of the site. Also, repeated links within articles should be limited dramatically. An article about mideast crises with a link every time Israel is mentioned is preposterous.
Further, it would be very helpful if an option to turn off the hypertext could be installed. At the least, the usual option to chose "copy" rather than "copy shortcut" should be enabled. I like to copy out portions for my own use (I prefer to read offline) and the hypertext copy is a God-awful mess. Abstrator 21:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
