: I don't know if there's a configuration setting, but the ones I just made are just built into citation templates, I didn't want there to be red links in reference lists. They aren't things that we should ever have articles on. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 20:16, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 
:: Perhaps we should create an "Offsite:" namespace, which is basically were we put the stub articles like the [[Enwiki]] article that I just created. We can come up with policies regarding the articles in the "Offsite:" namespace, such as "no more than N characters", where "N" is a reasonably small number (e.g. 1000). Anything in the "Offsite:" namespace is a light annotation before sending the reader off to another site (be that Wikipedia, or C4ES, or some other site. The main namespace can redirect to the "Offsite:" page, and then the "Offsite:" page can be a clear link to another website.
