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 (🇷🇺) and atys for common ^[1]

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.

Translation to review

Don't blame the contributors, but come and help them 😎

Notes: (Jenn, 2020-06-14)

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"^[2] 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 ^[3].

Linking to Other Wikis

Linking to other wikis follows the same rule, just use the Special:Interwiki prefixes instead of language ones; (wikipedia linking secifies the language AFTER the prefix).

Examples:

Inter-Languages and Inter-Wiki Transclusion

Transclusion of other languages are also possible. To include a page of another language just use:

{{:<language_code>:<Full_page_name>}}

thus exactly the same as if the page was in the same language space, but the beginning language code. Please note that the <noinclude></noinclude>  and <includeonly></includeonly> seem to be ignored, and the whole page is transcluded.

As an example, this page is not translated but transcluded to the other languages instead ( this could change in the future).

Note by --Dorothée (talk) 10:28, 13 June 2020 (CEST)

• At the moment, only transclusion of english pages are possible
• Use of templates of other languages does not seem to be possible, nor copying them with "subst:".
