It's difficult enough to explain to people the

want to avoid this confusion, as Wikicities is a for-profit, and
Wikimedia is a non-profit.
I agree completely agree and reverted the Wikitravel template back to the
non-box version. The template now creates a standardized external link again.
IIRC, that change is what saved this template from deletion before. I just
tried to do this with the Wikicities template, but failed. Could somebody else
hack that?

My proposal would be to list *free content* websites
somewhat
differently from normal ones, but to not give them a full-blown "sister
project" type box. For example:
== External links ==
____________________________________
| [[Free content]] links: |
| * Wikitravel |
| * Wikicities |
|____________________________________|
Supporting free content is fine, but whatever is used should be standardized
and not nearly as flashy as our sister project boxes.
