We now have an external link template on the #JoinFediverseWiki.

It is documented here: https://joinfediverse.wiki/Join_the_Fediverse:Template_guide#External_links

Please let me know if you don't understand the documentation or find any issue with the template.

The reason for the template is to exclude urls from translations as many users are blocked from entering urls, even in translations if they equal the original English text.

Btw if you start translating anything on the wiki into a new language, please let me know, so I will update this and another template.
