Suggested policy regarding glossary usage

edit

Do not link indirectly to this glossary as in [[Glossary of differential geometry and topology|submanifold]]. Rather, link verbatim to where you want to go. In this case to [[submanifold]]. Then create a redirect from the submanifold page to this glossary. This has two principal advantages:

  1. There may be a large number of broken links to submanifold elsewhere in Wikipedia. By creating a redirect page, you fix them all at once.
  2. If someone comes along later wants to write a real article about submanifolds they can just replace the redirect and there are no links to fix.

I think that is definitely the right policy to follow.
