Forum:External links

I was looking at recent changes and this edit from User:Sarnius made me wonder if we have a policy about external links? I know we usually include a "in the books" section on appropriate articles and then link to the wiki of ice and fire in a "see also" section. The above edit put some external links to related articles at Wiki of Ice and Fire directly in the text which is not something I have seen on many of our articles. I personally like keeping the external links in their own section so it is clear to our readers when they are clicking something which will take them off the wiki but wanted to canvas for other peoples opinions. Does anyone else have an opinion?--Opark 77 16:35, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
