== External Links == | |||
I've just found the [[Links]] page, which seems to be used for linking to external tutorials and the like, and it's got me wondering about the availability of external resources (excluding those hosted on the Oblivion CS Wiki). Although the [[Links]] page is linked to from the main page, I feel like it's not particularly obvious so these extra resources can be quite difficult to find. Lumping them all together like that also removes them from any relevant context, making it harder for the user to find what they're looking for. | |||
Anyway, I was wondering what policy (if any) the Wiki has for including relevant external links in regular articles. I would be surprised if there was any problem with doing this (after all, the Wiki is all about making information accessible, right?) but given how few I've seen I thought I'd ask for a bit of clarification. Would it be appropriate to include such links in ''See Also'' sections? | |||
What I'd quite like to do is include external links to tutorials that I've written on [http://www.cipscis.com/ cipscis.com], so that they can be accessed by people looking for information on the Wiki without requiring me to essentially give up authorship by hosting them here. This'll also allow me to link to updated (by which I mean re-written) tutorials of mine that have their previous iterations hosted here on the Wiki, without having to remove the information currently available on the Wiki. | |||
Personally, I think that each article should link to as many relevant (useful) resources as are available, so I'm going to go ahead and add these links to what I feel are the relative articles in their respective ''See Also'' sections. However, I'm still interested in finding out how others feel about linking to external resources, as the Oblivion CS Wiki seems to be pretty much the only external resource linked to around here. | |||
