'''InterWiki''' is the term used to describe a | ==Overview== | ||
'''Interwiki''' (also written as '''InterWiki''') is the term used to describe a method of {{tag|Wiki syntax|linking}} directly to other '<u>external</u>' [[wiki]] sites, using 'internal' [[WikiIndex:Wiki Links|wikilink]] double-square brackets — <code><nowiki>[[]]</nowiki></code>. This is used instead of single-square brackets which are used to link to conventional external URLs (which render a link with a double-arrow, which is unsightly when used within prose). | |||

Contact a WikiIndex [[Special:ListUsers/interwiki|interwiki manager]] or [[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Administrator]] if any <u>notable</u> external wikis are not on our [[interwiki map]], you think they should be; ''and'' we have a valid need to link to articles on said external wiki. | ||
The master of this list, for all wiki sites powered by {{tag|MediaWiki}}, is called [[Meta-Wiki:Interwiki map]], maintained on [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]]. It has more than [[Meta-Wiki:Interwiki map|400 entries]], although regular efforts are made to remove redundant or meaningless entries. | |||

:Rather than have a long list that people have to scroll down (especially with the page having no contents) wouldn't it be better to have an InterWiki template that lists all the languages and allows non-English people to click on one word to get to a page that is only in their language? | :Rather than have a long list that [[User|people]] have to scroll down (especially with the page having no contents), wouldn't it be better to have an InterWiki template that lists all the languages and allows non-English people to click on one word to get to a page that is only in their language? | ||

==Interlanguage links== <!--this section isn't really part of the 'interwiki' - HoofHearted--> | |||
It is possible to make a link on the [[sidebar]] saying the page exists in another [[:Category:Wiki language|language]]. For example, <nowiki>[[fr:InterWiki]]</nowiki> creates a link in the sidebar saying this page exists in [[:Category:Wiki French|French]]. If it shows a [[red link]], contact an [[Special:ListUsers/interwiki|interwiki manager]]. | |||

This is most commonly used on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] – as an example, for the [[English Wikipedia]], you might be reading an article on {{Wp|Bill Gates}}, and the [[sidebar]] will show inter<u>language</u> links for Bill Gates articles on say [[German Wikipedia]], [[Polska Wikipedia|Polish Wikipedia]], [[ウィキペディア日本語版|Japanese Wikipedia]], etc. However, it is unlikely that this facility would be used here on [[WikiIndex]], simply because we do not have the required numbers of [[editor]]s who are fluent in the required languages; and it would not be feasible to ensure their ongoing accuracy. | |||
