There Must Be Some Kind Of Cosmic Truth In This

[Ghoulish Delight]

Hmm, Alex's path follows the letter of the law ["click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics"]. Moonliner's probably follow more the intent since, in that case, the parentheses are not of the technical sort that contain nothing but pronunciation, word origin, etc. that head many articles, but rather it's presented as part of the explanatory text that just happens to be parenthetical. Although, in that it just provides a synonym, it is very closely related to the kind of parenthetical the "not in parentheses" clause was meant to rule out.

Definite gray area.
