== Internal Linking Guidelines ==

Cross-linking is not optional — it is a core function of the archive. Every article should link aggressively to related pages.

=== Foundational Pages (Always Link When Relevant) ===

These are the archive's central nodes. Any article that touches their subject matter must link to them:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Page !! When to Link
|-
| [[VRChat Inc.]] || Any mention of VRChat as a platform, the company's decisions, funding, or history
|-

=== Link Format ===

Standard link: <code>[[Page Name]]</code>

Link with display text: <code>[[Page Name|display text]]</code>

Use display text when the link target would read awkwardly in prose, or when you want to use a shorter form of a long title.
