Link templates
Link templates are templates for wrapping external links, like:
 * sources cited
 * most sources are on the Internet
 * some sources may be paper; they may share parts of their templates with the link templates.
 * not so reliable sources like electronic messages may also need templates.
 * websites and other servers linked to
 * those may not necessarily have an “author” important to mention near the link, but they still can have their relative importance in the article.
 * sometimes a website is mentioned in more than one place. Should it be a footnote then?


 * Issues
 * References and other ELs can have the same link. Either you have a reference and a normal external link, or you have the same thing as a reference and a link hard to find. Does that affect search engine rankings?
 * A reference page can change, and then the access date will be obsolete for one reference to it but not for the other.
