:Yeah, I was a little surprised when I encountered that too. I think I'm personally fine with it staying the way it is (immediate), but I probably wouldn't object if you figured out how to put some indication that the user is going to a different site. Perhaps we should make the skin on this site a little more visually distinct. Thoughts? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 02:59, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

::Interwiki redirects can cause some issues, though, particularly with globally renamed users who have a [[mw:Extension:GlobalUserPage|global user pages]]. Often, their old username is preserved as a redirect to what's technically a locally non-existent page. A workaround, which I adopted and which seems to be fairly common practice, is to simply convert it to a [[Template:Soft redirect|soft redirect]], using some sort of interwiki soft redirect template. What I ''loved'', though, was your inclusion of little English Wikipedia and MediaWiki logos to the right of any interwiki links. I assumed this is done through the interface in '''MediaWiki:''' namespace, but just wondering which file(s) control that. Very cool! Love that, as it provides the user/reader a visual ''cue'' that they're going to be leaving Electowiki. [[meta:User:Dmehus|Dmehus]] ([[User talk:Dmehus|talk]]) 17:17, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
