Should short story be linked?

I think so, given how relevant it is to this subject and what MOS:UNDERLINK has to say about that. It was recently unlinked, though, reasoning it's a common term in WP:OVERLINK terms. Either of us might be right, so it's up to you, the uninvolved third party. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm OK with linking it in this instance, seeing as Munro is mentioned at that article. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 23:53, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good to hear. Unless you plan to do it yourself, I think I'll wait a day or two to see if anyone else minds either way. I'm a bit "gunshy" this past year on anything even approaching an edit war (for better or worse). InedibleHulk (talk) 00:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else added this to the personal life section, and I've added it as a subheading, as I think it is significant enough to merit this. Wasn't sure about the subheading title though WZibell (talk) 07:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
