Done. Thank you. I added it to the "Career" section above the "Strictly Come Dancing" subsection. Is that an appropriate location or should it be moved? CityOfSilver 00:39, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Add link to The Wanted for easier navigtion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wanted Looks like it's intended The Wanted is in the source, but doesn't seem to render like Newark's. Toonarmycaptain (talk) 18:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You want a link added here? Or at The Wanted? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a link to The Wanted in the lead section, but I presume you want another link added in the "The Wanted" subsection of the "Career" section? I suppose that's allowed under MOS:DUPLINK, given that this is its first occurrence in the section. Also deliberating whether it would be better to add it as a normal wikilink or as a hatnote.
