Redundant URL

Re special:diff/1317304933, no it's not, because the URL of today will break tomorrow, unlike the DOI, and its presence in the template pollutes the information space (we're led to believe there's a reason for the URL to be there, as if it added something that's not already provided by the DOI, but we're not told what it is).

Is this official MOS policy, or is just your personal preference? If so, can you point me to the exact part of MOS where this is stated as policy? I really don't care that there's a possibility that a non-doi link might maybe possibly break down the road. Yes, link rot is real, but the utility of the link in the here and now is clear. That's why to build in redundancy with sources (direct link, doi, PUBMED, JSTOR, etc) so as to be robust against link rot. Also, unless cites are cleaned up by an editor periodically, link rot is pretty much inevitable anyway. Peter G Werner (talk) 04:08, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
