Forum:SH Archive/External links in article text

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

I think we should abolish external links in article text.

Reason? In the printable version (accessed through the "printable version" link on the left navigation), external links are expanded and the full URL is inserted into the article text.

Example:

Therefore, I suggest making a "Notes and references" section, like it is done on Wikipedia, that will serve as a collection of notes and external links referenced in the article. For an example, see Jedi Exile (it makes use of two complementary templates, n and note). - Sikon [ Talk ] 04:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
