So {{{[wiki:Wiki:APageInTheWiki]}}} {{{[wiki:WikiPedia:A_Page_In_The_Wiki]}}}. + * If you're really picky and anal like ["ArlenAbraham" me] then you'll want to link to non-redirected pages. For example [wiki:WikiPedia:Vacaville Wikipedia:Vacaville] redirects to [wiki:WikiPedia:Vacaville,_California Wikipedia:Vacaville,_California] but doesn't change the URL, you have to take the page name and add the underscores yourself. + * add a space, then type the optional description that you would like to appear with the link. + + = List of Interwiki places = + See the ["InterWiki Map"]! + + If you want to add a wiki to this list, follow the format on Interwiki Map. + + = Why Bother? = + Well, for one, you get this cool looking interwiki link icon that lets people know they're going to a wiki and not some random page. Passing your mouse over the link tells you which wiki it links to. Furthermore, it's good for the connectivity of the wiki as a whole, the theory being that indiviual wikis can all link off each other. + + = So when do I use this? = + Anytime you'd like to link to a page thats not appropriate for its own page on the wiki but exists on another wiki somewhere is a good time for an interwiki link. Otherwise, whenever you'd like.
