A link is a shortcut that points to another location on disk. The warning used to call this only a \"symlink.\" It now reads \"a link (a symlink or a Windows junction).\" A Windows junction is the Windows form of a folder link.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugin authors on Windows now get a warning that matches what is actually on their disk.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
