Introduction
Interwiki is a MediaWiki extension that allows to use intenal links format (i.e. [[something]]) instead of external ones, to link to other languages pages and some external wikis such as Wikipedia, MediaWiki...
It uses a prefix table to redirect addresses, wich is stored in the page : Special:Interwiki.
Interlanguages Links
Link to a page in another language
- Syntax:
[[:<language_code>:<Full_page_name>]]
Here available languages codes are de
( 🇩🇪) , en
(🇬🇧, 🇺🇸), es
(🇪🇸), fr
(🇫🇷, 🇧🇪, 🇨🇦, 🇨🇭) and ru
(🇷🇺)
- Example :
- [[:fr:Guilde:Cercle du Bois d'Almati]]
- The leading ":" is important (see below).
- Note that Interwiki/interlanguages links have a different color than the other internal links.
The Trad Template
The Trad Template displays a small languages banner as on the right of this line, which flags, when displayed, are linking to other languages pages. It can also provide a translation status information. See the Trad Template page for full documentation.
- Call:
{{Trad |DE = Page |DEs= (translation status code) |EN = Page |ENs= |ES = Page |ESs= |FR = Page |FRs= |RU = Page |RUs= |H = (1 for horizontal) |palette= Theme |ref= Page_link |com= Comment }}
The "In Other Languages" Menu
Interwiki allows to insert an "In Other Languages" Menu in the "Navigation Bar" which provides links to translated pages exactly as the Trad template does. To do so, just insert blind links to the translated pages with the following syntax (no leading ":" ):
[[language_code:Full_Page_Name]] (i.e. with the namespace)
For example, this page's "In Other Languages" Menu is obtained with :
[[de:Help:Interwiki]] [[en:Help:Interwiki]] [[es:Help:Interwiki]] [[fr:Help:Interwiki]] [[ru:Help:Interwiki]]
Note that the Help: namespace does not need to be translated.
