 The moment that `<object>.add_two()` is called, and `self.new_var += 2` is read, `new_var` changes from a class variable to an instance variable of the same name.
 
 This can be useful during initialization when all instances of a class will need some attribute(s) to start with the same value.
-However, the instance variable then shadows* the class variable, making the class variable inaccessible from the instance where it is shadowed.
+However, the instance variable then [_shadows_](https://oznetnerd.com/2017/07/17/python-shadowing/) the class variable, making the class variable inaccessible from the instance where it is shadowed.
 Given this situation, it may be safer and clearer to set instance attributes from the `__init__()` method as `self.<attribute>`.
