''' | '''Interwiki''' is the term used to describe a method of linking directly to other 'external' [[wiki]]s, 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). | ||

Here resides our WikiIndex [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki list]] – this list is editable. 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 this list, you think they should be, and we have a valid need to link to articles on said external wiki. | Here resides our WikiIndex [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki list]] – this list is editable.

This is most commonly used on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] – as an example, for the [[English Wikipedia]], you might be reading an article on Bill Gates, and the sidebar will show interlanguage links for Bill Gates articles on say [[Deutsche Wikipedia|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]]. | This is most commonly used on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] – as an example, for the [[English Wikipedia]], you might be reading an article on Bill Gates, and the sidebar will show interlanguage links for Bill Gates articles on say [[Deutsche Wikipedia|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]]. | ||

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.

: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 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? | ||
