Links to external resources are fine providing the resources are relevant, appropriate, do not abuse trademarks etc. > that may one day become unavailable or require paying or user registration? The content is assessed on how it looks today, not what it might look like tomorrow. If they links start to 404, they can be removed. Bugzilla requires registration and we link to that. Payment is a grey area. I think we'd look at it on a case by case basis. > It appears external links on the wiki > are not attributed with "nofollow" so this attempt seems really > inappropriate. I'd not like to say SEO, etc., though. Providing the content is appropriate, that doesn't concern me. These edits look well-meaning but a little misguided to me at the moment. Providing the factual stuff gets corrected, I don't see an issue. If it isn't fixed in a couple of days I'll just delete the pages / replace the content with a "this page has been deleted" message.
