While overlink can be an issue, I do not support 'once per article'. Instead, I propose 'once per section'. Since articles can be long and people often skip to their section of interest, it's beneficial to link there for easier reader access (also since some sections are hidden in tabs, readers may not even be able to see the link on the page if it's in a hidden section). Other exceptions include first time in article leads, infoboxes, and tables.

Another case is in piped links. E.g. in several articles I've seen " " when the teens didn't know that it was Lincoln. In such cases, it's beneficial to have a second link to " " the first time the name is mentioned. This isn't exclusive to names, e.g. both Rover and Truck should be linked since users wouldn't know that the Rover link would also give them information on the truck.
