''Instead of red links, GetWiki uses <font color=green>green</font> links to point to articles which do not exist locally.  When the user follows such a link, GetWiki tries to dynamically fetch it from the wiki designated as an external source (in Wikinfo's case, the English Wikipedia), renders and displays the article text.  A local copy is created only if the page is edited.  Effectively, Wikinfo therefore provides a transparent "wrapper" around Wikipedia pages which have not yet been copied.''  See [[wp:Wikinfo|Wikipedia's page about Wikinfo]].
