: Sorry for playing around with it in the final template (and also without discussion first), but I think I finished with it now. I agree with most what you say and I do know that Wikis (as most other pages) do like to have a prominent status and do not like when people leave the webpage. However, I do see the Wiki as a tool where people get a) quick and good information they need and b) a place for knowledge exchange. Therefore, it would be good to have those links (AVP, Hitchbase, AutostopGuide,..) at a prominent place. Especially the (Google translated) AVP links, this is for many countries a good (non central western) addition of information and for some countries the only information. Hopefully, it will facilitate more knowledge transfer and cooperation in future (from license discussions to more contribution from other projects). --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 17:26, 11 April 2008 (CEST)
:: I guess you got me wrong: I didn't say I don't want these link, I said the infobox is the wrong place for it. The template generates a load of broken links now. i.e. on the page of [[Russia]] it points to http://ve.free-travels.ru/articles/item.php?country=of which does not exist. Similar things happen on [[France]] and [[Ireland]]... I don't want to try more. It simply does not work this way. That is actually the reason why we discuss such changes before we implement them. Please create a template for avp like it's done for hitchbase. I'll remove the links again --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]]<small><sup>[http://{{{2}}} site], [[user talk:MrTweek|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 21:45, 11 April 2008 (CEST)
::: Sure, I understand. Still, I do think that this is the right place for the above reasons mentioned above. I am happy when somebody is able and willing to create a template in which the links are displayed in the right form. Is it possible to hide not filled in fields in templates? This was my first try and then slowly add it in more and more contries... --[[User:Alex|Alex]] 15:20, 14 April 2008 (CEST)Edit: Dumdidum. Not interested I guess?
