I already suggested several downsides, e.g. if I come to your Wikia and see such a link, i'd assume that it was left there by some newbie (those who use external links to internal links) and will convert it, actually my AWB module will convert it for me.

To sum it up, changing the convention that editors are familiar with ( from other wikias\projects ) can cause unnecessary confusion and extra work for you and other on your wiki, having to monitor and revert such changes, directing them to your amazing rule in the MOS. Meanwhile the only upside, is something that presumably might help only you, on very rare maintenance occasions, and can be done better through other means.


 * when you was unable to show a compelling reason to change it

This isn't a debate whether everyone should use them, so I am not required to compel anyone.

Additionally, you are not required to convince me that your point of view is "right". I wasn't trying to convince of anything, I provided you reason for general case (as an admin, you can do whatever you like on your wiki), however, I have found your veiled insults to be uncalled for.
