No inline links encourages a more legible writing style. What if Wikipedia had external links all over?

What if Wikipedia had inline links all over? Oh wait, it does.
Following an inline link on Wikipedia I know what to expect, basically a definition of the linked concept. External links on the other hand I consider more like footnotes at the end of a book chapter or an article. Regarding inline links all over have a look at the 1999 website a-blast.org / assoziations-blaster.de
But it still has inline links all over (and so does the site you link), which Gemini doesn't allow.
