would like a method that allows us to link to the wiktionary
article in that general area.
A link in the article should accomplish that more easily.
This link is what these people do not want and the existing link is
what they object to. They say it is "advertizing an external website"
and "as the people have no use for dictionary data, we can do without".
Sounds like an extreme view to me!
Why would you
want to do that?
*This will remove any standard references to wiktionary from the
wikipedia article itself.
I do not care where there is a link from a wikipedia article to a
wiktionary articel *as long as this link is there* !!! I do NOT want
to remove the links from wikipedia to wiktionary. I am of the opinion
that both Wikipedia and Wiktionary are sister projects and complement
each other.
We may disagree about HOW the Wikiweb is structured, but we do agree
that these interwiki relationships should exist. A sister site is part
of the family. You make it sound like they are a little kid who wants
to keep himself hidden in his own room. :-)
* Technically, the link requires a parameter as some
wiktionaries do
not have first character capitalisation.
There is the additional reason that for all kinds of reason the
titles of the article is not the name of the subject, disambiguation
is one.
This is a technical issue which should in time be solvable.
