Generally we would prefer to link to on-wiki content rather than to remote sites, but I get the point here about a quick contact list. I was wondering, though, whether it might be a good idea to rename as something like "Contact list..." and put email addresses (if public) directly on the page? --Skud (talk) 04:18, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, after looking at some more stuff in RecentChanges, I'm concerned about the layout of this list overall. I've posted on Marinaz's user talk page, here: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Marinaz#Links_to_external_sites ... but basically I would like to propose that lists on this wiki (especially ones like "List of ...") should primarily link to on-wiki resources, and use normal wikilinks that show redlinks to show pages that are missing. This would be a good way to help show what pages are needed, in the normal wiki way. We can also use categories where appropriate. If a page is primarily intended as a contact list, that's something else again. I wouldn't mind if we created "Contact list for X" on the wiki that primarily contained a table of eg. org name, email, twitter, etc, but I firmly believe that this should not replace wiki-style "List of X". Another possibility we might consider is an infobox-style template for organisations that lists their website, twitter, facebook, and other online presences in a highly visible form. (Now I'm suddenly wishing for semantic mediawiki, which would then let us query and generate tables from those infoboxes. Oh well.) --Skud (talk) 04:32, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
