* [[Meatball:BarnRaising]] | *[[Wikipedia:Main Page]] — which links directly to the main (front) page of the [[English Wikipedia]]; | ||
* [[AnyWiki:AboutUs.org/TheWikiWay|AnyWiki AboutUs:TheWikiWay example]] | *[[Meatball:BarnRaising]] — which links directly to a page entitled 'BarnRaising' (a discussion on collaborative working for the betterment of the wiki) on [[MeatballWiki]]; | ||

== | ==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). | |||
==Interlanguage links== | ==[[Interwiki map]]== | ||
It is possible to make a link on the sidebar saying the page exists in another language. For example, <nowiki>[[ | Here resides our WikiIndex [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki map]] with some 120 entries – you can ''not'' edit it yourself. 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. | |||
===Cleaning up the interwiki map=== | |||
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 [[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? | |||
:Is it possible to have something like es.wikiindex.org and then use that to change the content navigate and toolbox menus into Spanish? [[User:David Shepheard|David Shepheard]] 01:35, 13 May 2009 (EDT) | |||
::I believe that [[:Category:MediaWiki|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). --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:02, 13 May 2009 (EDT) | |||

==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. | |||
