Memory Beta:Don't use external links where we'll want Memory Beta links

The point of a wikiwiki is to build the web by creating an ever-expanding network of interlinked articles. Don't create links to external pages as part of the article text — more than likely, we'll want to have an article on that subject right here on Memory Beta! Links to nonexistent articles are perfectly all right — in fact, they're encouraged (under the appropriate circumstances, of course).

For example, don't write something like this: "The USS Wellington was a Niagara-class starship" — note the external link to another page. Certainly, Bernd Schneider's site is an excellent resource for starships of all sorts, but the link is in the wrong place. Where would we put the link to Memory Beta's article on the Niagara class?

Instead, external links should go in a separate section of the article (at the bottom of the page), where these links can be listed for further reading.
