I am sorry if I gave you so much trouble for an offhand and dumb remark. There is indeed a link in the wiki from an introductory EPUB article toward the EPUB main article. My mistake was that I took this introductory EPUB article as the main one... Many times using Internet, the links are pointing elsewhere, for example to Wikipedia or W3Schools and so I did not bother to use this one. I forgot that a wiki structure is not an hierarchical one. All this comes from a poor judgment from my part.

Could I suggest to differentiate the wiki internal links from the external ones? If the internal link points to an exhaustive article like the one on the EPUB, maybe this link would deserve to be written in big bold letters, to distinguish it from the common rabble and catch the attention of not too bright users like me...
Actually wiki internal links are quite different from external ones. The external links have a square with a diagonal arrow at the end icon to show that you are going off site. Occasionally a new wiki user will create internal links what look like external ones and I fix those when I notice them but you can be assured that if there is no icon at the end of the link it is an internal link. Making them big would disrupt the reading I am afraid and also mess up the line spacing. We want the article to be as readable as a book. I think that once you familiarize yourself with the wiki structure you will have no problem distinguishing internal and external links.
