Purpose
The External template is intended for links to external sites (i.e. sites not residing on this wiki). The link will be formatted in a way to visually separate it from internal links, and to remove the little "square arrow" that Wikis use by default for external links, but many people find more annoying than helpful.
NOTE: This template should be used for this purpose only and according to the examples below.
Usage
Syntax:
Alternative 1: {{external|URL_to_external_site}}
Alternative 2: {{external|[URL_to_external_site Name Of Site]}}
For example, typing this:
1: {{external|http://link.to.site}}
2: {{external|[http://link.to.site Dummy Site]}}
will cause the following to be displayed:
Ignore the following, it's only a representation of formatting and a parameter dummy.
