Month-and-day articles (e.g. February 24 and 10 July) and year articles (e.g. 1795, 1955, 2007) should not be linked unless the linked date or year has a significant connection to the subject of the linking article, beyond that of the date itself, so that the linking enhances the reader's understanding of the subject. For example:
Unlike page headings, table headers do not automatically generate link anchors. Aside from sentence case in glossaries, the heading advice also applies to the term entries in description lists . If using template-structured glossaries , terms will automatically have link anchors, but will not otherwise.
Many date-linkers are not suggesting going to a page like 1345, instead, they are suggesting linking to a page that pretty much gives a list of events that occurred during a year, such as 2008. (The date-linkers also find it necessary to link to things like 1 Jan —a pointless link in my humble opinion.)
PDF is auto-detected and should not be specified. Does not change the external link icon (except for PDF). Note: External link icons do not include alt text; thus, they do not add file format information for the visually impaired. (This is not a concern with PDF, because the auto-detection will add "(PDF)" as descriptive text.) See Using |format=
When I remove extra links, I find that often that second links or more are close together. I attribute this to different editors adding a new sentence and not noticing the previous wlink.

As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body. [9] Editors should provide a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent, when the meaning of the term may not be generally known, or when the term is ambiguous. For example:
Support appropriate guidance. years are rarely useful, so generally should not be linked. occasionally they can be helpful (e.g. linking 1970s in the article western cosmetics in the 1970s, so readers can see other cultural changes of the era). because there is a particular problem with overlinking years (a relic of autoformatting of yore) it ...
