The WMF projects (such as Wikiversity, Wikibooks, ...) and
WikiEducator have templates or special links to Wikipedia:

e.g.

* * {{wp}}
* [[w:<article name>]]

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Interwikimedia_links

I have heard it suggested that sites like WE and Wikiversity should be
the place(s) to go if one needs more than an encyclopedia article. Is
there a template on Wikipedia for this? Perhaps a federated search
template which returns hits on various OER repositories?

e.g. on Wikipedia have a template {{edusearch}} (etc) or something
more specific: {{cnx}} or {{we}} etc.

If such templates were available (and we could make them), it would be
good to have the WikiEducator hits ready and waiting for Wikipedia
users.

Perhaps we could design some templates which help WikiEducators set up
such pages. What would the template need to include? (think of meeting
the needs of the Wikipedia users looking for more than an encyclopedia
article).

Here are some rough preliminary thoughts for you to edit/discuss:
