If you add an external link, preview it to make sure it works.
If you add an external link to a site that has Not Safe For Work content (anything that would get an office worker or high-school student in trouble if the content or the site that hosts the content was to be viewed at work or school), then plainly mark the link as being Not Safe For Work.
If you find an external link that doesn't work, add the <code><nowiki>{{dead link}}</nowiki></code> template immediately after the link to point it out. Don't delete the link; we'll usually want to attempt to find the page that was originally being linked.
