I can see the technical improvement that has been made to [[Getting_Started/Explore#Configuration]]. However please could you review [[User:Inkyfingers/Getting_Started(1)]], which I have adjusted, bearing in mind that my presentation is almost-a-tutorial and tries to avoid links off-site. | I can see the technical improvement that has been made to [[Getting_Started/Explore#Configuration]].

: 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]]).
