:My intention for the Wikis templates was for them to only be used on category pages. Nowhere else. That isn't spelt out anywhere, though. I would prefer that other pages not use these particular templates and use the Links sections of their pages instead. However, it might be desirable to use Wikis templates on all applicable pages -- but then NOT list links to wikis in the Links section.

Oh, OK. I didn't know. So I guess we should use the "Links" section (except on category pages), then.

"Wikis es" template vs. link in the "Links" section

Well, I've just added this template to IFCollab, but then I noticed the same WikiCAAD link was already in the "Links" section.

What should we do in such cases? Use only the template at the top of the page, or use also the Links section? --Eriorg 08:24, 10 June 2009 (PDT)
