Such conversions can be complicated by factors such as: (1) the availability of multiple "originals", either in the same or different formats, (2) errors made in the course of earlier conversions, and even (3) errors in the "originals".  For a detailed discussion of these considerations see [[LPedia:Text Conversion Guidelines]].

=====Internal Hotlinking=====
====Links in Document Text====


If the document contains and attendance roster (such as in meeting minutes), the main members of the body need only be internal linked at that first occurence.  Additional names that appear elsewhere should be linked where they appear.
Even though historical documents that were originally published in other formats did not have "links", links may be added to the converted text to assist readers in referencing related information.  This may include references to individuals, committees, or other documents.
 
In long documents that have a set attendance list, such as meeting and convention minutes, you only need to internally link those attendees in the initial roster and not each time they appear in the document.  All other people or significant subjects who are mentioned need to be linked wherever they appear.
 
Example:
 
<blockquote>
'''Attendance'''
*<nowiki>[[Eddard Stark]]</nowiki>, Hand of the King
*<nowiki>[[Little Finger]]</nowiki>, Master of Coin
*<nowiki>[[Tyrion Lannister]]</nowiki>, Drinks and Knows Things
 
'''Call to Order'''
 
Lord Hand Stark called the session of the <nowiki>[[Small Council]] to Order.  Little Finger told him that he should never have trusted him.  Lord Tyrion Lannister asked what they planned to do about the Commander of the [[Night's Watch]] [[Jon Snow]].</nowiki>  Everyone dies.
