There are so many reasons that links to WR are utterly inappropriate that it is a constant source of mystery to me why we are still having a debate about them.

I would say that the original ban on links to ED would do just about nothing to harm Wikipedia. With WR, it's *conceivable* a link might be of use ... just unlikely.
But yes, full site bans are stupid.
And the "No personal attacks" policy page needs a serious purging. Instruction creep much? I mean, what on earth. If you don't know that the listed behaviour constitutes a personal attack, you're too bloody stupid to be editing Wikipedia. Full stop.
