wikilink + idgames formatting style for lists
Lingering question of mine that needs some context before I ask it -- Many articles on this site, including this one, have lists of Wads (usually mapsets) that are some combination of wikilinks and idgame archive (or forum) links per item.

Is there a consensus policy for how these should be formatted? One reason I ask is because the very first things I did as an IP editor 2 months ago were to make the formatting of this article's Wad section consistent. But the way I did it, which is no idgames link if there's a valid article here, doesn't seem to be that common in the wiki.

Here's a permalink of my most recent edit to this article's Wad section for reference. I personally like this style - only external links when needed - because it looks cleaner and helps emphasize Wiki article links.

So I was tempted to undo the Bot's recent redlinking, but in the spirit of being more communal, I think it's better to discuss this first :) --PhilthyPhilistine (talk) 15:14, 22 December 2021 (CST)
