[edit] Proposed additions
 |
The InterWiki Map exists to allow a more efficient syntax for linking between wikis, and thus promote the cooperation and proliferation of wikis and free content.
This section is for proposing a new interwiki link prefix. Interwiki prefixes should be reserved for websites that would be useful on a significant number of pages. Websites useful only to a few pages should be linked to with the usual external link syntax. Please don't propose additions of sites with too few pages or that contains copyright infringing content, such as YouTube. As a guide, sites considered for inclusion should probably
- provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects
- be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects
- be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license)
- be a wiki
- have reasonable amounts of content
- does not contain malware
Add new entries at the bottom of the section. When requesting a new prefix, please explain why it would be useful keeping the above in mind. Admins, please allow consensus to form (or at least no objections to be raised over a period of a few days) before adding new entries, as once added they are hard to remove from the many copies around the world.
Requests for removal should be submitted on the talk page in the removals section and will be decided on by a Meta admin.

[edit] Proposed removals
|
This section is for proposing that a prefix be disabled; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to explain why it should be disabled, particularly in view of the difficulty involved in correcting any use of the prefix. Completed requests are marked with {{done}} or {{not done}} and moved to the archives. |
[edit] Species:
When using the search on Wikipedia, for Species: The Awakening, it exits Wikipedia and shows a broken link on Wikimedia. Please remove this, and have the search go to the proper Wikipedia article instead. Dream Focus 18:09, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hello Dream Focus! I tend to say no to remove this interwiki. the correct article name is en:Species - The Awakening. The ":" is not needed in this case. Furthermore, Species: is used often and shouldn't be removed. Regards, --Barras 18:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Requests for updates
|
This section is for requesting update for an existing interwiki. This could be needed if your site's URL has changed. Please add new entries at the bottom of the section. |
[edit] Troubleshooting
|
This section is for comments related to problems or corrections with the interwiki map (such as incorrect syntax or entries not functioning). This is not the section to request that a prefix be disabled (see Proposed removals above). |

[edit] Generic Wikimedia prefix
With so many sites at wikimedia.org, I'm surprised that there is no generic "wikimedia" prefix, like the "wikia" one. Instead we have (not very useful imho) Wm2005, Wm2006, etc. (Just wanted to make an internal link to stats.wikimedia.org...) -AlexSm 15:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
