Template talk:Wpd

Should this template not open a new window like other external links do? That would be my recommendation anyway. Thomas Lerman 15:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Technically the template produces an  link and so it does not open the link in a new window. --Steve 16:00, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realize that it creates a link to another Wiki, but my opinion recommendation still holds. If I am doing research and wanted to check out another Wiki, I would not want to leave the Research Wiki site. I am curious about other people's feelings on this. If after discussion it stays the way it is, I will learn to not use it or right-mouse click to open in a new window. Thomas Lerman 16:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC) P.S. It seems that we want to keep people on the site, not drive them away . . . no matter if it is an interwiki link or not. Thomas Lerman 18:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I use right-mouse so often, it is a habit-forming for me now. Dsammy 20:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I remembered something... the off page link does NOT always work the way Thomas wanted. It stayed in the same screen rather than open up in in new window. Dsammy 20:26, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not positive what you mean by "off page link". But if you mean that a link that is defined to open another window does not always do that, I have never seen that and would like to see it (other than if a browser has that kind of setting). Password 05:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
