No, the board has never discussed this and ever decided one way or another. However, I did discussed the topic several times in the past weeks First after Gerard mentionned the current issue occuring in wiktionary on wikitech. Second because of the recipe issue on en.wikipedia (please, see my proposal here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3ARecipes_proposal#.5BWikitech-l.5D_… Third because I put a tech feature request on bugzilla on the matter : http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708 Fourth because I discussed it with you (Waerth, Gerard and you) a few days ago Fifth because I discussed the feasibility of linkage with Hashar. My proposition is not a board proposition, it is just an Anthere proposition. I do not consider it a board issue. The most the board itself could do is to say all projects are part of a global project, and I doubt Angela or Jimbo would disagree on this. It is a fact. No project superseed the other, they complete each other. As such, I think the links are not "external" in the sense we currently give to external. I think they are "external-internalized" :-) Andre Engels a écrit:
