I think "external sites" isn't quite what this is proposing - it's
generating crosslinks to Wikidata and Commons, and potentially through

don't see a problem.

I think Jared is referring to the link to Reasonator (http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/).

However, this is on Labs, not just a random external site.  That means worst comes to worst, it could be disabled if it violated the Labs policies.

It's also currently an opt-in user script (you have to explicitly add code to your user JavaScript), and it only sends you to Reasonator if you click a link.

There are similar links to Labs and the Toolserver in the default interface, e.g. at the bottom of Special:Contributions.

The reason I CCed design is because of the request for a logo.
