Forum:External links

Since I've been updating and editing most of the cast/crew articles, I thought it would be good to settle what goes here. Previously, we only had the IMDb link to the actor/crew member, but eventually we started adding other links. Pyramidhead prepared some nice templates for social pages and that's what I've been adding since. As it is now, I'm following this rough hierarchy...


 * Official website
 * IMDb
 * Facebook
 * Twitter
 * Instagram
 * LinkedIn
 * iStunt (or similar for stunts)

Is this ok? Should we, or should we not include links to social media? Also, I think that every news article or interview should go under References, with the appropriate <.ref.> tag in the article.

Also, what should we do with links to other Wikis? IMO, we should scrap them because it opens the door for anybody to add the link to the wiki he or she deems "relevant". Occassionally, I might leave one or two from Memory Alpha (because it's our "parent wiki") or a Wiki where the actor had a significant role. But at the end of the day, I don't think we should have them under External links.
