This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.

Internal wiki linking

These exist so you can cross-reference the same articles, but on different language wikis. For example, on "Water" there is a French, German, and Spanish version of this article. So at the end of this page on "Water", this code exists:

[[de:Wassermangel]]
[[es:Agua]]
[[fr:L'Eau]]

These are the article names of "Water" on each of these three wikis. And on the German Wiki's article of "Water" this is on its bottom:

[[en:Water]]
[[es:Agua]]
[[fr:L'Eau]]

These happen on each of the pages that have interwiki links. However, let's say you are working on the German Wiki and you add interwiki links to a page that lead to a valid article name on other wikis, the Interwiki Bot automatically cross-references by reading the German article and adding the correct interwiki links on those other pages. This allows correct formatting of these links and keeps everything clean. To request the Interwiki Bot to run, contact Shane.

Interwiki ID	Wiki	Link Code

md	BS Media Wiki	`http://media.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1`
hb	Hangerbay (Test) Wiki	`http://hb.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1`

Example Code: [[:md:Main Page|Main Page]] would produce: Main Page linking to the Battlestar Wiki Media.

+==Internal wiki linking==
-These are the vaild codes for internal wiki linking.
+These exist so you can cross-reference the same articles, but on different language wikis. For example, on "[[Water]]" there is a French, German, and Spanish version of this article. So at the end of this page on "[[Water]]", this code exists:
-* de - German ''Wiki'' - <code><nowiki>http://de.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>
+<pre>
-* en - English ''Wiki'' - <code><nowiki>http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>
+[[de:Wassermangel]]
-* es - Spanish ''Wiki'' - <code><nowiki>http://es.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>
+[[es:Agua]]
-* hb - Hangerbay (Test) ''Wiki'' - <code><nowiki>http://hb.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>
+[[fr:L'Eau]]
-* md - Media ''Wiki'' - <code><nowiki>http://media.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/$1</nowiki></code>
+</pre>
+These are the article names of "[[Water]]" on each of these three wikis. And on the German Wiki's article of "[[:de:Wassermangel|Water]]" this is on its bottom:
+<pre>
+[[en:Water]]
+[[es:Agua]]

+These happen on each of the pages that have interwiki links. However, let's say you are working on the German Wiki and you add interwiki links to a page that lead to a ''valid'' article name on other wikis, the [[User:InterBot|Interwiki Bot]] automatically cross-references by reading the German article and adding the correct interwiki links on those other pages.
