I've noticed a growing number of edits have been adding hyperlinks to pages on another wiki. When these redirects occur within the text of the main pages themselves, rather than under an "external links" section, I feel that it may lead to confusion among some users. The redirected pages, while quite similar in appearance to this Wiki (at least to novice users), are directed towards the movies, not the POTCO game itself. Therefore, links to Spain or France as countries, while perhaps interesting, are not necessarily relevant to the game itself. Since many people use only hyperlinks to navigate, rather than constantly clicking a "back" button, once a casual user has been redirected off site, it may be quite difficult for some users to get back to this Wiki. I am wondering if external links should be limited to the "external links" section at the bottom of a page.
