AddingInterwikis

From Shrubbery

New interwiki shortcuts can be added directly to the database using an SQL INSERT command like this:

insert into interwiki (iw_prefix,iw_url,iw_local,iw_trans)
values ('mw','http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/$1',true,false);

This SQL command adds a new interwiki shortcut caled 'mw' that points to the main mediawiki page. Once this is defined, you can use:

[[mw:SomePage]]

instead of the more verbose:

[[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SomePage]]

See meta:Help:Advanced_editing#Disabling_wikitext_interpretation_and.2For_reformatting

(Notice the above link uses meta as an inter-wiki shortcut)
