So we can name sites in article space like

the article link to them? Can someone explain to how this makes any sense at
all? Oh, yes that one saved click is really going to make it less harassing.
This is in many ways the worst possible combination. We are sacrificing the
integrity of article space for an at best marginal benefit.
I'd suggest this one is not a problem in practice - we already don't
put in http:// links to shock sites, just listing the address in plain
text.
The problem that brought about the BADSITES arbitration was that
people were deleting the *name*
antisocialmedia.net from [[Judd
Bagley]] under "no personal attacks." That is, community policies
interfering with encyclopedic coverage.
