Knight Bachelor prefix

Having read MOS:OVERLINK, I don't believe there's anything in there that would preclude linking the infobox prefix to the honour in question (particularly with one as ambiguous as Sir, which could refer to several different honours). Indeed, it's fairly common practice to do so. Thanks. OGBC1992 (talk) 18:46, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a commonly-understood prefix, so it falls under Everyday words understood by most readers in context (e.g., education, violence, aircraft, river). Knight Bachelor is already linked in the infobox and per MOS:EASTEREGG, links should only be piped when necessary, which in this case it's not. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:01, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
