Help:Interwiki linking
From rPath Wiki
Interwiki links are links to pages of other projects, using a prefixed internal link style.
A link like [[WikiPedia:Main Page]] will appear like this: WikiPedia:Main Page and redirect you to Wikipedia's Main Page.
For setting up interwiki links, you might need to edit the Database.
Interwiki links to other projects
Default
Several Wikimedia-Projects (and others) are ready for interwiki linking by default, so you can use them without editing your database:
| prefix | direction | usage example |
| commons | http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ | [[commons:MediaWiki]]
|
| mediazilla | http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/ | [[mediazilla:1209]]
|
| meta | http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ | [[meta:Main Page]]
|
| mw | http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ | [[mw:Help:Contents]]
|
| wikibooks | http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ | [[wikibooks:Main Page]]
|
| wikimedia | http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/ | [[wikimedia:Main Page]]
|
| wikinews | http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/ | [[wikinews:Main Page]]
|
| wikiquote | http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/ | [[wikiquote:Main Page]]
|
| wikisource | http://sources.wikipedia.org/wiki/ | [[wikisource:Main Page]]
|
| wikispecies | http://species.wikipedia.org/wiki/ | [[wikispecies:Main Page]]
|
| wiktionary | http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ | [[wiktionary:Main Page]]

Adding more
As the Wikipedia isn't set up by default, you might want to add it (and other projects of your need).
You have to edit your database.
Go to table interwiki and add a new line:
iw_prefix: choose a prefix, which is used for interwiki linking, e.g. "Wikipedia" or "wp" for linking to Wikipediaiw_url: enter the project's URL, e.g.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1for Wikipedia. Don't forget the$1as it is replaced with the article's name you are linking to ([[Wikipedia:Main Page]]links tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page).iw_local: (don't know what this is for)iw_trans: (don't know what this is for)
