Links should have meaningful text, something like "here" is not acceptable
- it reads bad (How would you teach a child to speak? "...what are your pointing to...", "...what's the name of this thing..." )
- there is no clue about the link target (or do you really want to force your reader to leave the text and read the link URL at the bottom of the browser window, or even long–tap the link in touchscreens?)
- its psychologically/pedagogically bad because you refuse valuable repetition of terminology
Bad text[edit]

Good text[edit]
To find a good text for your link, you have to think a bit about your text, sometimes, you have to rewrite a section. If nothing helps, add a section that explicitly prepares for a list, make this list typographically obvious and use the page title of the link targets (there are helpful add-ons for browsers).
todo: add realistic examples
