There's no way to discern a 'good' (adding to the content) wikilink and a 'bad' (not adding to the content, such as [[sound]] or [[the]]...yes I suppose the latter is an extreme example) wikilink, and I believe that's what Tony Sidaway is talking about

I think the problem with the Language article is that it's far too
heavily
wikified. In some sentences nearly all words are needlessly peppered
with
blue link. As if someone would find himself unable to understand what
was
meant by "sounds" or "gestures" in the opener, and a link to the
articles
for those words would help.
Perhaps you should choose (or design) a skin that doesn't highlight wikilinks unless you glide your cursor over them.
In general, I would agree that our blue wikilinks are a little too contrasting with the text body, making them a distraction, and would prefer something more subtle as the default.
