I like the idea of an interwiki link behaving and looking the same as an external link. I don't like external links that have no icon beside them to indicate that they're going outside. I also think it's time we considered having external links open in the same window rather than spawning a new one. It's like Thomas said, though -- it might be wise to test our user base, which truly is an older, less tech-savvy crowd than the Internet technorati (all of us included in that last). Whatever you guys want to do, though, you might want to involve [[User:JensenFA|Fran Jensen]] in the conversation because she has been assigned as the wiki lead.

:I would add that when more people get involved in the [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/forumdisplay.php?f=5 Forums] by posting requests for enhancements and changes, the more your thoughts and ideas will be heard. Right now, the Forums have a much wider audience than specific pages in the wiki. If Ben or any of our engineers are not "watching" a page, they typically won't know it's been updated with requests for enhancements, etc. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 21:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
