Wikilinks from the Conlang book
Hi. Just a bit of perspective, re your links for Broca's and Wernicke's areas. We try to make books reasonably self-contained, and the Conlang book has a variety of external links (mostly for various conlangs), so I had the notion a while ago to set the book up with glossary entries for those things and link within the book to the glossary, then put the book-external links in the glossary. I was working on that in the first few months of this year, but have had other distractions recently so it hasn't moved forward much lately. Anyway, I was a bit concerned at first about the links for Broca's and Wernicke's, but on reflection they ought to make perfectly good glossary entries, sooner or later, so I decided I was just making life too difficult. :p --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:11, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. I had gone to look up those parts of the brain when I first came across them but ignored the fact that they weren't links. When I got down farther and saw that 'diglossia' and 'emoticons' were linked, I figured it would be a good idea to link other 'technical' terms for those who want to know more.
 * I made some other edits today. I remember one specifically because it was an attitude change. I've heard that the text should not be interrupted by links, so I removed a 'click here' type link and rephrased it to flow better. It was on the sounds page, referring to the IPA chart. I intend such edits to be useful, but if not, please let me know.


 * Thanks again for the welcome,
