Alright, is that a general rule of thumb or was it something I should have read before? Either way I apologize for adding the links, I was under the impression that each addition into the results table acted as its own entity rather than a continuous tally which made the hyperlinks make sense in my eyes, but if that's not the case no worries. I guess my main issue is that it makes the results table look incomplete since the consistency is lost with new smashers being linked in seemingly random locations (although that is the first time they appear) which is what prompted me to make the changes. Would there be a way to make it so they didn't appear as just dead text?

:It's just a general rule of thumb we've been following for a long time. I don't think it's actually written on any policy anywhere. To answer your last question, I don't think so without misleading readers. Plus, with how many smasher articles there are, it'd be quite the hassle to make a change like that for something so minor. :/ [[User:Disaster Flare|<span style="color:Green; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px green">'''Disaster'''</span> <span style="color:Blue;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px blue">'''Flare'''</span>]] [[File:Disaster Flare signature image.png|20px]] ''[[User talk:Disaster Flare|<span style="color:SkyBlue;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px skyblue">(talk)</span>]]'' 13:48, 20 March 2018 (EDT) | :It's just a general rule of thumb we've been following for a long time.

::It's in the [[SW:MOS|Manual of Style]], first line in the Internal links section: "Generally, only link to an article once."
