(The occasional convenience of having such links in dispute resolution proceedings are one of the reasons I argued against the total ban proposed by BADSITES, incidentally; but such proceedings aren't covered by sourcing policy in any case.)
But they have been always considered covered by the BADSITES/MONGO psuedo-policy, which is why the sourcing discussion is and is not a red herring. It is a red herring in that nobody has ever talked aobut this in terms of article space; it is not a red herring because charges about the content of sites need citation.
BADSITES isn't policy, or pseudo-policy, or guideline, or even a good idea. MONGO is kind-of-pseudo-policy, but even the arbs that actually voted on it seem to have different interpretations of how far it's really meant to go. ;-)
More to the point, though: I was under the impression this particular episode had started because someone wanted to put a link to WR in an *article*, no?
