This is also for people that want different date formats, for me it reads:
"MandrakeSoft operated under bankruptcy protection from 2003-01-27 to
2004-03-30."

Hi,
What are the implied rules of creating hyperlinks?
Let's assume I am reading the page....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MandrakeSoft
I have understood 2 things about links...
1) Red links don't contain any text.
2) External links are marked (a convention, I wish all websites should follow)
But I completely fail to understand why certain words are hyperlinked.
For e.g. in the following para why does the date January 27 is linked?
I clicked on that date and could not find anything related to the
current page i.e. MandrakeSoft.
MandrakeSoft operated under bankruptcy protection from [[January 27]],
[[2003]] to [[March 30]], [[2004]]. Despite its efforts to cut losses
and improve profits, MandrakeSoft was forced to file for protection
due to a series of quarterly losses.
Too much (and mostly unnecessary) hyperlinks makes me shy away from using wiki.
Thanks
