Wikilinkitis refers to the process of putting more links around words than is really necessary.

[[Symptoms]]

Symptoms of "Wikilinkitis" include:

* Putting the brackets that are necessary for wikilinks around dates , numbers and names ;

* In extreme cases , putting the double brackets around definite articles , such as the , and pronouns , such as she , he or it.

* Repeatedly putting double brackets around certain words.

* Looking at Wikipedia regularly to check how many words are names of articles , so that you can put more of these in a single sentence to enable you to produce more wikilinks.

* Not bothering if the double brackets which you have put around words result in a red link.

Remember , there is no prize for being able to put more wikilinks in an article.

Wikilinks are a necessary part of Wikipedia , but it is possible to overdo it.
