Can you explain why the change is not constructive? The context of the link was about "white metal bearings" yet linked to the mostly irrelevant article "White Metal", whereas the context implies that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babbitt_(alloy) also known as colloquially as "white metal". The unfixed link is useless.

Someone just got link happen and linked to an article with a similar name and topic but missed the context.

Or do I need to find an external source to cite to fix this error? I hadn't imagined that wikilinks were subject to that policy. 76.16.75.39 (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
