'''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). | '''Interwiki''' (also written as '''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>.

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]].

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 [[wp:Bill Gates|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]], simply because we do not have the required numbers of editors who are fluent in the required languages; and it would not be feasible to ensure their ongoing accuracy. | ||
