verlinkbarer

verlinkbarer is a German adjective derived from the verb verlinken, which means “to link” or “to hyperlink.” In everyday usage the term describes an object, text, page or resource that can be turned into a hyperlink, either within a website, a content management system, or a digital document. The form verlinkbar is the adjective, and the ending –er is a common adjective inflection that can be used attributively, e.g. verlinkbarer Link oder verlinkbare Seite, meaning “linkable link” or “linkable page.” The word is typically found in technical documentation, forum discussions, and editing guidelines on platforms such as Wikipedia, where editors talk about which pages or images are verlinkbar and thus suitable for use as reference points. In addition, verlinkbarer can be used metaphorically to describe anything that can be connected or referenced: verlinkbare Ideen, verlinkbare Konzepte, or verlinkbare Informationen. The term reflects the importance of hyperlinks as a structuring mechanism in the digital era. It is not a standard entry in the German dictionary but is widely understood within the context of online media. Since the concept is highly contextual, verlinkbarer is most useful in instructions or guidelines where a distinction must be made between linkable and non‑linkable content.
