Help:Intersite linking
From AcornWiki
Interwiki links are links to pages of other projects, using a prefixed internal link style.
Interwiki links make it possible, to link to other Acorn IT Group sites as well as pages at other wikis (like Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, etc.)
A link like [[Wikipedia:Main Page]] will appear like this: Wikipedia:Main Page and redirect you to Wikipedia's Main Page.

Several Wikimedia-Projects (and others) are ready for interwiki linking by default, so you can use them easily.

Adding more
Other sites to which we frequently link can be added by a Sysop by editing the database.
The Sysop will go to the database table interwiki and add a new line (usually done with phpMyAdmin):
iw_prefix: choose a prefix, which is used for interwiki linking, e.g. "Wikipedia" or "wp" for linking to Wikipediaiw_url: enter the project's URL (e.g.,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$1for Wikipedia). Don't forget the$1as it is replaced with the article's name to which you are linking (e.g.,[[Wikipedia:Main Page]]links tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page).iw_local: if 1, your wiki will redirect even external links of the form iw_prefix:title, not only those from its own pages. you need this if you want to use the redirect functionality from outside your wiki or other wikis use your transwiki functions for nested transwiki links (like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fr:Accueil)iw_trans: "transwiki transclusion" - set to 1 if you want to use pages from the other wiki as templates. You will also need to set $wgEnableScaryTranscluding = true in your LocalSettings.php
