To reiterate my defense, skin names on the HotS pages have links to give an idea of what the skin looks like without directly linking to a screenshot of the skin. Cross-franchise skins also have a link pointed at what franchise they're a crossover with. D.Va the Destroyer used to have "the" linked to Ascended Meme, which was a chained sinkhole. When it was removed however, it was left blank which is out of style with every other link. I just stretched the Our Dragons Are Different link over the "the" to match up with everything else.

If that's not okay, I can go through and remove the double links from every skin name and just leave them as either a franchise or a specific trope.

We're still not supposed to add Sinkholes regardless of the reasoning.

That actually is what's called a chained sinkhole due to more than one link to separate pages being placed next to each other. I'm going to revert it so the word "the" isn't part of either link.

Either way, nothing else needs to be done here since only one sinkhole notifier (the one for that edit) was received.

Yeah, I'm aware. I believe I was using that term for consistency since the Sinkhole notifier doesn't use the term "Chained Sinkhole" in the first post. As for the comment, I meant that we're not supposed to add any kind of sinkhole. I should've worded both differently, though lol.

Also, thanks.

I went through and cleaned up all such sinkholes from all the HotS pages.
