== Wikipedia links == | |||
Hi, | |||
it's a noble strive to fix red links. However, I don't think we should use (internal) wiki links to link to Wikipedia, like you did in [[Falconara Airport]]. Unlike Wikipedia/Wikimedia/Commons, Wikipedia is not part of our family and I would therefore prefer to use external links for that. In this specific case, I would opt for removing the links completely, as they add little to the article. | |||
Our (unwritten) policy has always been that we try to minimise the amount of non FlightGear specific info. We simply cannot keep current with all of what's written on Wikipedia. Instead of listing all airlines operating from a certain field, we can simply link to the Wikipedia article. That way the list will stay current and those looking for FlightGear specific information won't have to dig through all the Wikipedia lookalikes ;-) | |||
Please let me know if you have different thoughts; I'd happily discuss them. | |||
Cheers, | |||
