Even if the question asks for links, nobody forces the answers to just contain the link; who answers could explain why the link they are reporting is better than another one. To make a paragon with English Language & Usage, if the question is about a word to use, that doesn't mean the answer should just be a list of words that should suit; it could as well explain which of the listed words is better, and in which cases. | |

I often seek "link only" answers to flag as not an answer, or comment hoping for improvement. (surprised how often improvements actually come). But this kind of question specifically asks for links. | |
