Blue links are the glue that keeps Uncyclopedia stuck together. Without blue links, where would you be?
The Basics[edit | edit source]
There are two types of links on Uncyclopedia. Blue links, the by far superior, link to |actual pages on Uncyclopedia. Here is an example. The arch-nemesises of blue links are red links. Red links attempt to link to an article, but the article to which they attempt to link does not exist.
The general form of a blue link goes a little something like [[page that exists]], or alternatively [[page that exists|page that doesn’t exist]]. Clicking on a blue link, assuming a connection to the world wide web, will take you, and anyone else that happens to be in the room, to the page specified by the blue link. It’s not that complicated, really.
Advantages[edit | edit source]
There are a number of advantages to including blue links in articles. An exhaustive list of these is listed below.
Over No Links[edit | edit source]
A word that is a blue link is vastly superior to a word with no colour or linkage status. For an illustrative example, see No links. Not only do blue links provide easy access to another page of fascinating information, they add interest and colour to any article.
Over Red Links[edit | edit source]
Now some people say “A red link is just as colourful as a blue link, so why are these blue links so much better?” These people do have a valid point. The interest and colour a blue link adds is equal to that supplied by a red link. However, these people overlook the vast advantage, and really the point of links – to link to other articles with related information. As such, blue links are better than red links.
Abuse of Blue Links[edit | edit source]
Some misguided individuals out there, add an excessive number of blue links to a given article. This is one of the most heinous of all crimes against Wikipedia Uncyclopedia. Perpetrators will definitely be diced into 1cm cubes using a blunt steak knife.
