From Stanford Electrical Engineering Department Graduate Handbook

Jump to: navigation, search

Interwiki code is a helpful shortcut to link a url without having to type in the http://sitename.com

If you are logged in, going to the Interwiki Table list, will also allow you to change, delete, and add interwiki shortcuts.

You can go here to get help with normal hyperlinks.

Examples

[[w:Wiki]] will automatically link to http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wiki.

Using the same syntax of normal links you can name them.

For example [[w:Wiki|All about wikis]] will produce All about wikis, and link to http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wiki

For a list of Interwiki shortcuts in the database see the interwiki Table List.
