Wikipedia:Don't link to bomb-making instructions
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Per common sense, editors can exercise editorial judgment to avoid linking to Internet pages that encourage and provide instructions on how to make bombs, commit crimes, or other illegal activities. Everybody but the most hardcore fool understands that there is no requirement to link to material that seeks to promote crime, hatred, or anti-social activity. The balance must be weighed between the benefit to the encyclopedia of including a link, and the potential for offense or harm.
