I like this idea a lot. Just an external link to a more relevant wiki isn't really as attention-getting as it should be if people really want to know more.
In general, we should be more selective with what external links we provide, and how we present them. We should distinguish between:
- Sources of the information in the article - Sites that are more informative than the article (particularly where the article is very short) - Sites that represent some example of what is described in the article (eg, a ski resort, for an article about ski resorts...) - Community/portal/forum sites, where people may want to go if they're really interested in the topic..
I have no objection to us providing a link to Johnny's Sk8boarding Forumz, but it shouldn't be mixed in with other, more "encyclopaedic" links...
