WikiLinks are missing
- Your proposed text appears to be missing key H:WIKILINKs which may help to facilitate a reader's understanding of the subject matter.
- WikiLinks provide instant pathways to locations within and outside the project that can increase readers' understanding of the topic at hand. Whenever writing or editing an article, it's important to consider not only what to put in the article, but also what links to include to help the reader find related information. Official guidance for the use of links is to avoid both underlinking and overlinking.
- To that end, please comb through your proposed text, taking care to Wikilink all notable productions. A good rule of thumb states that if it's in italics, it will need a WikiLink. Things to be WikLinked include awards, directors, producers, production houses, theaters and film festivals. Things NOT to WikiLink would be all geographic locations, cities and states. The rationale is that a WikiLinked theater in an obscure lesser known city won't need that city's link in this Wikipedia page, because readers who click the theater can find that city's link on the theater's Wikipedia page.
- To save time, please feel free to place these WikiLinks in the text already submitted above, rather than re-writing an entirely new draft; unless there are glaring absences, in which case it might be prudent to reconsider referring to that particular production.
- If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask. When ready to proceed with the requested information or any questions which you might have, kindly change the {{Edit COI}} answer parameter to read from
|ans=yto|ans=n, or place a newer {{Edit COI}} at the beginning of any new submission offered for review below this reply post.
