* Wiki links [[]] are fine in any of the Infobox fields.
* ''Please spend some time at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Books|WikiProject Books]] and/or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels|WikiProject Novels]] for standards on presenting names and other data.''
* In the "language" field, '''link to the article that is actually about the language; for example, use''' <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[English language]]<nowiki>|English]]</nowiki>, '''not''' <nowiki>[[English]]</nowiki>
