The enwiki guideline is about editing existing links, not creating new ones, so I don't see an issue here.

I don't know about the zhwiki issue specifically. Cc @dchan

Hello, I apologize for my mistake. I have revised this ticket and specified the zhwiki issue only. Since this ticket is not only about zhwiki but also enwiki, I am happy to open a new ticket about the zhwiki issue if it is needed. Thanks.
