'''Interwiki linking''' canare belinks ato pages across different [[Wikimedia projects]] or language editions, and may linkpoint to ''another project'', to ''another language'', andor both (e.g., toa ''anotherdifferent project in anothera different language'').

* '''Interproject links:''' By adding a prefix to another [[Wikimedia Foundation#Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia project]], internal link style ("prefixed internal link style") can be used to [[Help:Link|link]] to a page of another project. A system of short-handed link labels is used to refer to different projects, in the context of interproject linking, as seen within the actual source text. {{pb

:}} For example, to link from here to the "surfeit" article on Wiktionary, you have to includeutilise thean interwiki link. <code><nowiki>[[wikt:surfeit]]</nowiki></code> which would appearappears as [[wikt:surfeit]], orand the interwiki link <code><nowiki>[[wikt:surfeit|surfeit]]</nowiki></code> which would appearappears as [[wikt:surfeit|surfeit]].

See a complete list of all possible interwiki prefixes at [[Special:Interwiki]].

Some of the '''long forms''' do not work as expected within the same project; for example <kbd><nowiki>[[meta:]]</nowiki></kbd> does not work on Meta, while <kbd><nowiki>[[metawikipedia:]]</nowiki></kbd> does. This depends on the configuration of the wiki and where the names are stored (see also next paragraph). The '''shortcuts''' work everywhere. The [[m:Interwiki map|interwiki map]] on Meta lists many prefixes, among others, <kbd><nowiki>[[wikipedia:]]</nowiki></kbd> for the English Wikipedia, working from any Wiki supporting the Meta interwiki map, not only from MediaWiki wikis. Some prefixes work only with a page, for example: [[wikipediawikipedia:]] (fails) vs. [[wikipediawikipedia:Interwiki link]] (works). These prefixes are case insensitive.<section begin="iwl-text" /><!-- This template needs fixing:

<nowiki>[[:ja:ja:2006]]</nowiki> [[:ja:ja:2006]]

A universal interwiki link, that is, one that works no matter from which Wikimedia wiki, can be written <nowiki>[[m:</nowiki>''project'':''language'':''page name'']] (e.g. [[m:b:nl:Wiskunde]]); this routes the parsing of the links via Meta ([[bugzilla:4285|bug 4285]]). [[m:mos:Soraogo]] links the mos Wikipedia. MOS is a namespace at the English Wikipedia so <code><nowiki>[[mos:Soraogo]]</nowiki></code> would be a local link.
