Yay or Nay?
By linking to the speech text themselves you are losing many if not most of the Wikipedia articles on the subjects. 1956 for example, which has an article but is linked to the actual speech (I edited the template because it looks like 1956 was spoken aloud to both houses of Congress). So, keeping to 1956 alone, how will the reader find the Wikipedia page? Randy Kryn 7:07 14 January, 2015 (UTC) ti
Why are you linking to WikiSource if WikiSource doesn't have the text of the speech? For example, 1838 (Martin Van Buren's second address) does not exist at WikiSource, and if it did, it probably wouldn't live at the URL you've provided in the template. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave a redlink in place for a Wikipedia article? That way you'll be able to see actual demand for such an article by checking inbound links -- and the interwiki logic always formats a WS link as a blue external link so you have no idea that there's no content there either until you actually navigate there. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû ( blah?) 03:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
