generating crosslinks to Wikidata and Commons, and potentially through

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.
