The second feature (also free) provides access to tremendous databases that allow users to search for unclaimed inheritance. These are much needed and sought after services. They are extremely relevant to the topic, and they are properly identified as "external links." Moreover, this certainly is not "spam." Wiki users want the information. Having the links there does not diminish the article or its contents. The information is relevant and properly labeled as an external link. What is the problem??

With regard to the "Current squad" section found on the club pages, I am a fan of putting all players including those in or out on loan in the one section rather than having a separate section for loanees, but I can see advantages both ways.
