Rule Intro
If you have a link on a page that takes you back to the same page, then
that is a weird experience. So don't include a link to the very page you
are on.
Page Content
Exceptions are:
- Permalink – Because it enables a user to get a link to the current page or bookmark.
- Logo on the homepage – It’s widely known that clicking on the logo will take you to the homepage and it shouldn’t change if you are already on the homepage. People often click on it to reload the page.
- Menu items – However you should visually indicate on what page you are on.
