I notice that a 'wikipedia link' has been added to the bottome of the TV Story infobox. Unfortunately, as this is an automated link it doesn't always work. It relies on our story page titles being the same as the story page titles on wikipedia but these are frequently different. The result is that, for example, if you follow the link in the box for [[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]], you end up at a default error page on Wikipedia saying that the article you are looking for doesn't exist. So, should we remove this link altogether and leave it to be added manually in the main body of the page under 'External Links'? --[[User:Mantrid|Mantrid]] 06:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | I notice that a 'wikipedia link' has been added to the bottome of the TV Story infobox.

:I would opt for removing the links from the Infobox, for the reasons you stated as well as the fact that we already have a [[Template:Wikipedia|template]] for citing Wikipedia articles which can go in the "External Links" section, in which the correct article title can be entered manually. Whoever made that change certainly had a good idea, it just has an impractical flaw. | |||
