This is a proposal for an optional style (formatting) that can be used when linking to wikis not hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. Such links would still have to comply with the usual guidelines for external links, especially the rule about open wikis.
A normal link to an external wiki looks like any other external link. Some editors believe that there should be an available option to distinguish such links.
