| : This can be useful in context, however, the standard wiki style includes a large number of hyperlinks for reader-directed, non linear navigation, best determined by the reader, as is common on [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] ([[Wikipedia:Wiki#Navigation|described here]]). Within this context, one learns to follow hyperlinks only for a reason, rather than because they have been presented. Within a tutorial, one presumably submits oneself to the navigation of the author, so links that may distract would be carefully chosen. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 15:35, 6 December 2011 (EST) | | : This can be useful in context, however, the standard wiki style includes a large number of hyperlinks for reader-directed, non linear navigation, best determined by the reader, as is common on [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] ([[Wikipedia:Wiki#Navigation|described here]]).

| :: The links to the Floss manual seem entirely appropriate. The link to [[olpc:Sugar_Control_Panel#Access_the_interface]] is the only link with which I have difficulty. I see that http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch007_home-view/ would not make a good alternative. The other bug with the "current" version, is that reference to USA keyboard is '''hidden''' on opening. [[Sugar on a Stick/Explore]] is direct and helpful in addressing the keyboard issue to users outside the USA. My first motivation [[Talk:Getting_Started]] line 1, was to highlight this helpfulness, the "current" version obscures. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 18:12, 7 December 2011 (EST) | | :: The links to the Floss manual seem entirely appropriate.
