There is a template on the wiki that I created for easy access to 
region pages. You just give it the island and region name, and it 
creates a link to that wiki page.

http://wiki.battlemaster.org/index.php/Template:Reglink

Tom is supposed to be changing the way that links to IG region pages 
are handled, allowing this simple template to link to them, as well.
Until Tom restructures the way IG region pages are accessed, a simple 
template, or even interwiki linking, just can't work. Dwilight 
regions are accessed differently than the other islands, though. They 
go by region name rather than a region ID code.
