:I'm not sure there is (but thank you! I thought I was the only one staring at some of the things and thinking 'huh'?). I guess it's more a judgement call than anything really concrete. There have been a few things in the forum here and there. In the Manual of Style there's a section on [[Tardis:Manual of style#Links|Links]] but that's about it.
