Support

 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support  Even if you don't perceive Wikipedia as "external", it shouldn't be lumped together with internal links to other entries. That just creates a big mess. -- Liliana • 00:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. I actually think we should also allow links to Wikipedia article to be given under appropriate individual senses, but that's already not common practice, so it's not reason to oppose this. (Currently #* autocollapses as "[quotations ▼]", anyway, so a technical change would be needed as well as a change of practice.) —Ruakh TALK 01:27, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * It would at least be nice to see several pedia articles linked within Ext Links when appropriate. DAVilla 07:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 06:00, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support Dan Polansky 11:47, 11 July 2011 (UTC) I support, after hesitation, placing, , , and similar to "External links" section rather than "See also" section. I used to place  to "See also", but I no longer think it is the best option. --Dan Polansky 11:47, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose  DCDuring TALK  00:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC) I don't think Wikipedia, Wikispecies, Wilkicommons, or any of the other other sister projects is "external". I think this misleads users by putting those projects on all fours with true external websites. DCDuring TALK  00:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Abstain

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol abstain vote.svg|20px]] Abstain TeleComNasSprVen 23:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC) As I had indicated in the previous conducted poll concerning the use of external linking, I dislike placing the term in section headers in favor of what I believed to be the more easily understandable "References" or "See also"; however, I would still much more prefer a consistent system over the one we have now. Thus I am divided about this matter. As an aside, what will happen if this proposal comes to pass? Will a change be committed to WT:ELE to reflect the consensus here?
