Peter,
Please bear in mind that as a small community, we use a lot of in-house jargon
as well as general computer technology jargon.
Remember too that first-time visitors to the wiki may not even know (e.g.) the
difference between a front-end and a back-end.
It's not unreasonable to provide links to publicly available information
sources to help them learn and understand what we are talking about.
Providing in-line links for such technical terms is surely a matter of common
courtesy?
Best regards,
David
