Is there any concensus regarding how wikilinks to articles in, for instance, English Wikipedia should be handled when translating? Can/should they be replaced with a link to corresponding page on the wiki in the language I translate to, or not? Can I and the other Swedish translators change the wikilinks to point to the articles we see fit, and remove them at our choice, or not?

It is not always that wikilinking seems to have been performed with great care. For instance, the beginning of http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Translation_requests/WMF/Board_of_Trustees is much more heavily wikilinked than the rest. I can think of several names and concepts that can be wikilinked in that text, that are not. Another example: the word "engineer" in the description of Anthere is wikilinked to an article about a special type of prestigious French universities which does not seem very intuitive. The Swedish wikipedia does have an article on the topic http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandes_%C3%89coles but it is really just a list of mainly red links to university names, and does not make much sense to link to. Is it OK to remove that link, and wikilink for instance Kennisnet in the section about Jan-Bart?
