Template:Interwiki map header/en
The associated page is used by the MediaWiki software to add, remove or update interwiki link prefixes (such as
[[w:blah]] to "blah" on Wikipedia). Any Meta-Wiki administrator can edit the interwiki map. It is synced to the Wikimedia cluster upon request through the completion of a phabricator ticket. Please post comments to the appropriate section (Proposed additions, Proposed removals, Requests for updates, Troubleshooting, or Other discussions); read the boxes at the top of each for an explanation. Completed requests are moved to the archives.
{{interwiki request}} can be used to assist in the making and managing requests.
