I think that users should be able to link other wikis themselves because wikis are references and are (for the most part) hosted by Wikia. Since this wiki and others are hosted by the same company they are networked together making one large community consisting of smaller communities. The previous (for the moment) is irrelevant. We should be able to link to other Wikia wikis like we would google or wikipedia since all they are is a site with accumulated information and that in itself cannot be harmful (for the most part). Now we get back to the community thing. I support linking other wikis themselves for the purpose of sharing information but I strongly oppose linking of other chats for the following reason. Every wiki has it's own community, and members of those communities often tend to gather to chat among themselves in their own little space, now when members of another community decides to invade another communities place of discussion it disrupts it. The way most invasions/community disruptions start when a user or users link to another communities chat, which as explained earlier causes a disruption in their community which is unacceptable behavior and should not be tolerated, we have our own spaces for discussion and they have theirs, let's just leave them separated.
