			== Centralized External Links ==
			To mitigate broken links over time, we have created a module that allows us to use shortcuts in articles for commonly used external links. These shortcuts can then be managed from one location and will automatically update everywhere that link is used.

			To add a link shortcut to a page add <code><nowiki>{{ext-link\|key}}</nowiki></code> to the source of the page where the link would otherwise be. For example using <code><nowiki>{{ext-link\|rp}}</nowiki></code> would create the following link: {{ext-link\|rp}}.

			The list of keys and the default link text that appears when used is shown here:
			{{#invoke:ExternalLinks\|listKeys}}
			To use custom text other than the default use <code><nowiki>{{ext-link\|key\|custom link text}}</nowiki></code>. To request additional shortcuts please do so on the [[Module_talk:ExternalLinks\|module's discussion page]].
