Recently on the AC forums there was a thread on the wiki where there was a pretty good discussion about the wiki vs. older fan sites. There were a lot of good ideas there, which we should probably discuss on another thread, but there is one idea I had that I thought deserved its own topic since it would potentially touch a majority of our articles.

I think a nice addition would be to include links to other fan sites' pages on our articles. So on our patch pages and quest guides, we would have links to the appropriate related page on maggies/CoD/ACvault/etc. We could also include these kind of links on our pages about npcs, monsters, items, etc. if we wanted to. Sites we could link to:

I was thinking about it, and I think the best way to go about this would be to either create a {{Related External Links}} wiki template that we would edit in to all pages, or modify existing templates, like the {{Patch Announcements Links}}, {{Quest Summary}}, and {{Intro}} templates. Either way, we'll have to go through and edit a ton of articles.

While this would be a lot of work, I think it would be a useful addition, as people wouldn't need to learn the different ways to navigate all the various fan sites to get the article they want.

Thoughts?
