MA Help:Interwiki link

Contents → Interwiki link

Interwiki links are a way to facilitate the creation of connections between different wikis instead of requiring that a full URL be duplicated.

Local interwiki links

The first kind of interwiki links are links to editions of Memory Alpha in other languages. Generally, on a page these links will appear at the left side of a page under the heading "in other languages". These links can be created like this:

[[de:Pagename]]

Alternatively, you can include these links inline in an article using the following method:

[[:de:Pagename|Pagename]]

The list of interwiki prefixes for the various language editions of Memory Alpha are as follows:

Language	Code
German	de
French	fr
Dutch	nl
Esperanto	eo
Spanish	es
Polish	pl
Swedish	sv
Serbian	sr
Czech	cs
Russian	ru
Portuguese	pt
Chinese	zh-cn
Japanese	ja
Bulgarian	bg
Italian	it
Catalan	ca
Romanian	ro
etc.	etc.

The second kind of interwiki links are inline links to other Fandom wikis. These links can be created as follows:

[[w:c:Wikiname:Pagename|Pagename]]

An inline link to a Fandom page is created like this:

[[w:Pagename|Pagename]]

Note that some of the (older) Fandom wikis (such as Memory Alpha) also have their own dedicated prefixes, but Fandom has moved away from creating a dedicated prefix for each wiki, and so the newer ones do not have one.

External interwiki links

Links to websites outside of Memory Alpha can be created in the same fashion, except that these links will always appear inline in an article. An example would be:

[[Wikipedia:Example|Example]]
