I agree that we want to unbloat HTML, and that examining redundant duplication is worthwhile. However, I think the visual prominence of the template'd versions of these links is very useful and important. It's already difficult to encourage users to visit our sister projects, where much related content exists, and we want to make that easier and more frequent. Removing the old/established convention of templated boxes, and leaving only the links in the sidebar - which, I would guess, most readers don't look at very often or very closely - would make it even less likely that they'll travel from enwiki:James_Joyce over to https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:James_Joyce > I think the side bar is great - is there some way we can consolidate these > two things and remove the need for in-article boxes that take up much needed > real estate in mobile? I'm confused on this point... AFAICT, those templates do not show up in mobile. I checked the mobileweb and the android app, and the boxes are not displayed in either, though the inline links do appear. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibian#External_links (mobile web) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#External_links (mobile web) - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#External_links (mobile web) (These do show up) If anything, I'd suggest we //add// them to mobile!
