How Many External Links Can We Include In Our Persona Paper Articles?

According to the Persona Paper FAQ (why, yes, I did read the FAQ page as well as the Rules page, the Acceptable Use Policy page, the How It Works Page, the- okay, you get the point. I read them all before registering, ‘k?), we are not allowed to put referral or affiliate links on our articles, but we can actually include links to other sites as long as they don’t violate the Rules and Acceptable Use Policy.

My question is, how many outside or external links can we include in our Persona Paper articles? Of course, the links in question will all be relevant to the article they’ll be placed on, but that should be a given, huh?

I was thinking of including at least 3 (if there are 3 relevant links) since that’s what I do in some other sites I write for, but I was wondering if that is also acceptable here? Or should the number of external links be less than that? I don’t need more than 3. I'm just wondering if 3 is an okay number here, but less than that is all right for me too.

I’d just like some clarification to be sure. Also, again, just to be sure, we can interlink related Persona Paper articles together, right? Oh, and, another thing, are the links supposed to be contextual?

Do we need to link a specific word or keyword in our article or can we just include the links at the end of the post and say something like, ‘related articles for whatever topic the aforementioned post was about’?

Either is fine with me, but I’d like to know which one or if both are allowed or acceptable here. Thanks for the clarification on these questions.

Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

"Well, I wasn't an admin when I was responding to the post that had asked about it before, but I had said 3 related links. So, lets go with that, and I'll have Will add that into the FAQ."

"Oh, and the articles that are linked must abide by our rules and be relevant of course."

"Thank you for clarifying this matter. Yeah, I didn't see this one in the FAQ so asked about it. I don't think I've encountered that post you mentioned."
