"Direct linking"

Hi, thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. I note that you have made edits to add direct links with piped text in existing wikilinks. This is generally not considered worth doing when the existing links are correct via redirects, certainly not as the main reason for a series of edits. You seem to be aware that very often the redirects are already to a subsection not to the head of an article, so direct linking can easily make matters worse. All the best.
