InterWiki List

Here resides the interwiki list, this list is editable, contact a wiki Administrator.

Interlanguage links

It is possible to make a link on the sidebar saying the page exists in another language. For example, [[en:InterWiki]] creates a link in the sidebar saying this page exists in English. If it shows a red link, contact an interwiki manager.

I don't know how to do this, not sure of it's function. MarkDilley


Cleaning up the InterWiki list

It looks like there are a bunch of links to WikiIndex that may have been thought to link to language sections, I propose to delete those and add them if they are ever needed. MarkDilley

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?
Is it possible to have something like es.wikiindex.org and then use that to change the content navigate and toolbox menus into Spanish? David Shepheard 01:35, 13 May 2009 (EDT)
I believe that MediaWiki is set up to work that way. Someone else had mentioned this in one of the threads on the Community Talk page (I think). --MarvelZuvembie 16:02, 13 May 2009 (EDT)
