I see no problem with having two links per entry when the second link is the general subject category of the first. After all, isn't the whole point of a link to reduce the amount of typing and searching that's needed to navigate to where you want to go? If you don't want to navigate to a link, don't click there! So, IMHO, removing valid internal links does not improve wiki quality, it reduces it.
If changing from black text to blue text mid-sentence somehow bothers you, then perhaps that is an issue not with the link function, but with some other issue such as the graphical format that renders the link visible, and the psychology of why alternating text color may be distracting to some readers. (see: Obsessive-compulsive disorder). In theory, if more words were linked than not, then you might say that the unlinked words were the distraction! So, it seems you'd then push to make all words linked! Perhaps it's ironic that a highly ordered link structure would make a highly disordered color scheme. Hmmm.
As far as I'm concerned, the more links the better, and the more blue the better. I see no reason not to have lots of blue, unless you hate that color. I happen to like it, does that make me biased? Actually I like dark blue better. Perhaps it would be easier to read if the two colors were closer in gray-scale. Seriously. Mikiemike ( talk) 16:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)--
