[edit] Why this template matches Template:imdb and not Template:wiktionary

Wikicities is not a Wikimedia sister project. The sister projects, which get special box-like templates, are listed at Wikipedia:Sister projects. Other external websites get no special treatment, regardless of whose servers they run on or whose software packages they use. See e.g. Template:imdb, Template:wikitravel, Template:memoryalpha. --Quuxplusone 06:42, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Robin Patterson and Fuzzie point out that Wikicities is now called Wikia.

For instructions on how to use this template, see the table at Wikipedia:Template messages/Links#External links.

I'm not sure why we see it as a bad thing to give it a box. -- Ned Scott 00:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Formating

It strikes me as slightly counter-intuitive to link Wikia first and have the wiki as the second link; {{Imdb name}} and similar templates have the target external link as the first linked item. Should this template be reworded to make the wiki the first linked item? --Muchness (talk) 01:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
