There's no ban. We wouldn't have the template if it was, lol. Just see how it's described on the Manual of Style.

I don't see what you're really getting at with the whole confusion thing. Who is confused by such things? Nobody that I've ever met. That's the way it works everywhere, on pretty much every Wiki. I suppose if you wanted you could specify with "In the episode The Gauntlet..." but other than that it's pretty self-explanitory. If someone doesn't know what "The Gauntlet" means, they click the link. That's how it works, usually, at least in my experience.

Storylinks were made to do the purpose as described in the Manual of Style, and using them mid-sentence just throws off the narrative. It looks, well... ugly. Small words highlighted with white right there while you're reading? No thank you. But more than that, the designated purpose was to use as footnote, just as it is everywhere else.

The theme here is conformity, to do things as close as we can to other Wikis so that it feels comfortable and familiar to visitors who frequent those others. We try to go against the grain as little as possible.

That being said, I thank you for opening a discussion on it instead of just being a turd about things such as this, as some have done in the past.

Have a great night!
