==How NOT to link to an Interwiki==
Line 93 ⟶ 99:
Am I correct in assuming that wikias are external? If so, that is pretty daft, as all that is "uncyclopedic" is sent there, yet thery are external... --[[User:Squidonius|Squidonius]] ([[User talk:Squidonius|talk]]) 09:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, Wikia-hosted wikis are considered external links. But I don't understand what you're saying.. could you rephrase? -- [[User:OlEnglish|<
::Thanks, that answered my question. (What I meant was that I do not get is the dismissal as "external" of wikias despite the facts that Wikias belong to wikimedia and a lot of the information was stored on wikipedia before they were sent there. It would make more sense adding them to the interwiki lists, in my opinion, but the stuff on wikia are absolute crap so it does not matter.) On a side note, I posted a note in the [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Transwikification|village pump]] about a utterly speculative solution to better interlink the sister projects by having the choice outside of the article. --[[User:Squidonius|Squidonius]] ([[User talk:Squidonius|talk]]) 17:32, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

:Looks correct to me :-) It may be prudent to do a minor rewrite to instruct on the best practice of putting the language ISO after the interwiki abbreviation, simply to promote ease of readability.

== Wikidata ==
I've raised a question at [[meta:Help talk:Interwiki linking#Wikidata]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
== Tricky colon before language code? ==
I don't understand the issue well enough, but I almost always have to put a colon in front of the language code for the link to be parsed correctly. The examples show this usage, but in the sister projects table of section 1, "Wikipedia in another language" omits the colon. [[User:Adamw|Adamw]] ([[User talk:Adamw|talk]]) 09:06, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
:Yes, this is tricky. ''With'' the colon, you get an inline link; ''without'' the colon, the software instead adds the link to the "Languages" section in the left toolbar. -- [[User:John of Reading|John of Reading]] ([[User talk:John of Reading|talk]]) 09:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
== Diffs & oldids ==
How do we link to a diff or an old ID on a sister roject? e.g.
* https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions&diff=206839760&oldid=206833239
* https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions&oldid=171768343

:{{replyto|Pigsonthewing}} Try these

== Non-WM interwiki links ==
I would like to open a line of discussion on the topic of inline links to non-Wikipedia projects. Is there previous discussion on this topic that I should be aware of? A lookaround has failed to locate much discussion of external links other than [[WP:EXT]], which pretty much restricts itself to the discussion of the External Links section.
The nutshell version: Wikipedia's interwiki linking practices strike me as needlessly insular. We do however allow occasional links to other projects such as Wiktionary; and if so, I see no possible justification to categorically ban interwikilinks to other established wikis. What, then, is the position on them exactly? --[[User:Tropylium|<span class="IPA">Trɔpʏliʊm</span>]] • [[User talk:Tropylium|blah]] 07:18, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
== "Doubling prefixes" information wrong. ==
It says: "When using language codes, the order of the prefixes does not matter."
However, sometimes, it matters.
For example:
* [[:fr:wikt:Test]] {{check mark}}
* [[:wikt:fr:Test]] {{check mark}}
* [[:fr:w:Test]] {{Xmark|23}}
* [[:w:fr:Test]] {{check mark}}

:The non-working link expands to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/w:Test - curiously, it works fine at the French Wikipedia (using links to English) where it yields something almost the same https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/w:Test; see [[:fr:Special:Permalink/142779594#Et les liens]]. Perhaps the <code>w:</code> prefix is itself short for <code>w:en:</code>. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 12:48, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
:: After a few more tests, it looks like if you use "proj_prefix:" at the ''same'' project, it will actually mean [[:en:]]. The same thing will happen if you use "wikt:" on https://fr.wiktionary.org. -[[User:Fireattack|fireattack]] ([[User talk:Fireattack|talk]]) 17:55, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

::The prefix <code>simple:</code>, which is used for this, is not an interwikimedia link - it is an [[H:ILL|interlanguage link]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 08:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
== I can't tell if this is a bug or not... ==
When I try to make an interlanguage, interwiki link, the link works fine, but displays funny when I hover over. I made a working link [[:zh:s:病後雜談之餘]], but when I hover over the link with my mouse, it looks as if it goes to the nonexistent zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/s:病後雜談之餘. I spent some time wondering why the link was going to Chinese wikipedia instead of Chinese wikisource until I clicked on the link and saw it worked. Maybe worth mentioning on this Help page? [[User:NPalgan2|NPalgan2]] ([[User talk:NPalgan2|talk]]) 08:30, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
:{{replyto|NPalgan2}} If you click it, you'll find that it resolves correctly. But you could try exchanging the prefixes: [[s:zh:病後雜談之餘]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 09:06, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
:: Yes, I understand, I just wonder as it's a helppage that it may be worth mentioning that the link *looks* like its going to zh.wiki or en.wiki [[User:NPalgan2|NPalgan2]] ([[User talk:NPalgan2|talk]]) 23:32, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
:::There's nothing that we can do about it here, because it's part of the MediaWiki software. You would need to file a change request at [[phab:]], per [[WP:BUGS]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 10:18, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
:::: No, I mean mentioning on this page right here Help_talk:Interwikimedia_links so that people learning how to make interlanguage interwiki links aren't confused. Because I was. [[User:NPalgan2|NPalgan2]] ([[User talk:NPalgan2|talk]]) 13:53, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

== How can I insert a picture from the English version into another language version? ==
I am trying to add the Logo of a radio station in the Portuguese version of an article. In the English version, ''Kiss FM (Portugal)'' has the logo but it isn't available in pt.wikipedia.org and I tryed adding <nowiki>[[en:</nowiki> the name of the item in the English version and then <nowiki>]]</nowiki>, but it doesn't work.
Can someone explain me how to do it? [[User:Tuggaboy|Tuggaboy]] ([[User talk:Tuggaboy|talk]]) 18:57, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
:{{re|Tuggaboy}} you would have to download it, and them upload it again to ptwiki - ensuring that you follow the rules at [[:w:pt:Wikipédia:Conteúdo restrito]]. — [[User:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#FF9933; font-weight:bold; font-family:monotype;">xaosflux</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Xaosflux|<span style="color:#009933;">Talk</span>]]</sup> 19:11, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
:{{re|xaosflux}} It doesn't allow me to, I need to have more than 500 editions. There should be a way to use an image saved in Wikipedia, like using the prefix :en as I mentioned. The article now has no logo, and logos are allowed - that's exactly why it is in the English version. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tuggaboy|Tuggaboy]] ([[User talk:Tuggaboy#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tuggaboy|contribs]]) 22:27, 11 February 2019 (UTC)</small>
