Linking to non-Wikimedia wikis

You know normal links‍—‌they look [[like this]]. But did you know that you can use normal links to pages on any other wiki? This is called InterWiki linking, and applies to all wikis, not just Wikipedia's sister projects. You can link to a page on MeatballWiki by typing [[MeatBall:PageName]], for example. See Interwiki map.

However, links to Wikipedias in other languages are done a little differently. You can link to these by typing, for example, [[:de:Hauptseite]] (replace "de" with language prefix). The colon at the beginning prevents the link from becoming an interlanguage link, which shows up in the left sidebar.

To hide the prefix from the link, use the pipe trick.

Bonus tip: the same basic syntax works in the search box. ( Try typing in Meatball: )

I'm trying to figure out how copper is mined and refined. See my work in progress: User:Josh Parris/copper

And I follow the contributions of User:Adam Johnston closely - he's very knowledgable on mining. His writings are a bit on the technical side, 'tho. I'm waiting for comment from Adam on the following articles:

To do

[edit]

Check ISBNs And I've got to get back to the ISBNs in Category:ISBN needed using the book reference template (Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Generic citations). Remember to search for "ISBN:" using User:Topbanana/Reports/This article may contain a badly formed ISBN reference if its ever re-run.

Oh, and check out Wikipedia:Offline reports/This is one of the most linked to disambiguation pages. Disambiguate when bored (use Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):

Disasters

[edit]

Require MoS (dab) to be applied OR other work

[edit]

Lots of disambiguation to be done

[edit]

Mostly under control

[edit]
  • Hacking the remaining links are for uses for which there are not articles at this time. So, do I create stubs, redirects, or what?
