:Anyway, the policy is "we really should be doing that better... do you have time to do it? Yeah, me neither." So if you're volunteering, go for it. Typically it would be in an External Links section after the See Also section. The only thing I would comment on is that it would likely be confusing/frustrating for a user to finish a tutorial and then see "Updated version of this tutorial on cipscis.com" - that would be kind of annoying. At the same time, I'm not sure it's appropriate to have pages on the Wiki that consist entirely of just a link to your site. That's an issue I'm not really sure how to handle. | :Anyway, the policy is "we really should be doing that better... do you have time to do it? Yeah, me neither."

::I agree that in general pages shouldn't be created just to link to pages on my site. I've listed it on the [[Links]] page so that should be sufficient. However, I have created a page to link to my [http://www.cipscis.com/fallout/utilities/validator.aspx Script Validator] because I think it's something that Wiki users could find helpful but, it can't actually be mirrored on the Wiki. I have no plans to do the same thing for other pages. | |||
::If I make an update to a tutorial hosted both here and on my website that doesn't consist of a total re-write then I'll mirror the update here as well, but given that others can edit the tutorials hosted here it's entirely possible that the content will evolve differently in each location, so I think it would be appropriate to make both versions available. Perhaps a note about other versions could be included at the top of the page, with the actual links at the bottom in an ''External Links'' section? | |||
::Most of the external tutorials that I know about are my own, which of course I'd be glad to link to from appropriate articles on the Wiki. I'd be happy to include other external links as I find them as well, but most of the external links I include will probably end up linking to my site. | |||
::P.S. Thanks for the tip about new discussion going at the bottom of the page. I'll keep that in mind from now on.<br />-- [[User:Cipscis|Cipscis]] 23:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC) | |||
