Wikiversity talk:External links
How about renaming this policy page to Wikiversity:External links and having it as an overview of what kind of link additions are ok, and what are spam (rather than a page devoted to just "spam")? Cormaggio talk 21:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I have lengthened this policy from its previous 1.5 lines. I've also created an essay-like commentary on the issue of whether the licencing of external sites should play a role in the policy, which is not itself a part of the proposed policy, reflecting both sides of a short debate on IRC. --McCormack 10:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Distinguishing Wikiversity Links from Wikipedia Links
In creating a course I want to:
- Ensure the student follows all the links to the topics and subjects in this course, and
- Wikilink many concepts to the relevant Wikipedia page, to allow optional further study by interested students.
The problem I encounter is that these links look the same, i.e. they have the same typographical style, and the student therefore is not guided toward the "follow this link to continue with the course" links as distinguished from the "follow this link if you want to research this topic in more depth in Wikipedia" links.
See: What Matters for an example.
I propose adopting a distinctive typographical style unique to the links that are within the same Wikiversity address space (e.g. within the root address of the course).
Is this a good idea? Is there a better solution? Can this be implemented? Thanks! --Lbeaumont (discuss • contribs) 12:18, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
- It should be easy enough to just produce a template to do so. Do you have a particular font or font color in mind? --SB_Johnny talk 13:47, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
