Hi everyone. I'm a longtime user first time GM and find myself posting more content. I was wondering if there was a general etiquette guide somewhere. In particular I was wondering about what common practice is for linking. If one character or page is listed several time in a wiki do you typically link all instances or just the first? An article or guideline for similar practices would be appreciated.

On my own game I am going back to previous work and doing linking as more content gets loaded into my campaign, but I do it a little at a time, when the urge hits me. I don't want it to become drudgery, or overwhelming either, and in a campaign that's only had two sessions I can already see how much work it could be if I let it. Taken a half hour here, and another half-hour there, over the course of several weeks, it looks doable.
That's the guideline I use as well.
bq. Is it expected to update old posts with new relevant links, or is that just preference, or is it just being excessive?
For me, cross-referencing through hyperlinks is a key utility of the wiki format, so I update older pages with hyperlinks to new pages.
