However, there is an exception to this. Links to other sites using [[Special:Interwiki|the interwiki table]], such as [[frakr:|Wiki Frakr]], [[MemoryAlpha:|Memory-Alpha]] (the ''Star Trek'' encyclopedia), will not have this icon. Most of the time, such links are noted as being external links.

There is a difference between internal and external links by the link's color:
* A pure inside wiki internal link will be in yellow. For an example: [[Lee Adama]].
* Other languages Battlestar Wiki links, Interwiki links (as Memory-Alpha for example), and external links will be in orange. Examples:
** [[:fr:Lee Adama|Lee Adama]] (French Battlestar Wiki article about [[Lee Adama]]);
** ''[[memoryalpha:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'', an interwiki link to Memory-Alpha ''Star Trek'' article;
** [http://www.galacticruise.com/ Galacticruise.com], link to an external website.
