"In general, links should be created for:

Relevant connections to the subject of another article that will help readers understand the article more fully. This can include people, events, and topics that already have an article or that clearly deserve one, as long as the link is relevant to the article in question."

This is not a controversial addition, so I am adding it back as per Wikipedia policy, which is absolutely clear on these matters. Oz346 (talk) 08:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is a controversial addition, the above RFC as concluded it as it is. You are going beyond it. Cossde (talk) 15:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is controversial to put a mere link to the topic page of the actual incident. But I've requested a third opinion to solve this impasse. Oz346 (talk) 15:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then why did you revert my change, without going to a third opinion? I request you to refrain from edit waring. Cossde (talk) 15:20, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your change, because it makes no sense. Does every edit need to be approved by rfc to be added? I'm going to third opinion now, because you still have not provided an adequate reason for removal of the link, and it is clear we have now reached an impasse, as you refuse to budge from your position. I could not assume that you would still disagree. Before going to third opinion, there needs to be a talk page discussion. Oz346 (talk) 15:29, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Response to third opinion request:

The consensus of the previous RFC supported the inclusion of mentioning this information in the article. Linking to a related article that goes into more detail is perfectly reasonable. So far there doesn't appear to be a policy related argument against linking. In light of that, I would support linking. Nemov (talk) 15:36, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although I don't agree with your view on the matter, I will respect it and let this stand. Cossde (talk) 16:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
