Interwiki linking (linking to an article on Wikipedia, a Wikia, or other wiki in general) is medium-complicated, but not that hard to learn.
Linking to Wikipedia
To link to the Wikipedia article "Trains" type; [[Wikipedia:Trains]]
As with regular links, link text can be provided after a pipe character; [[Wikipedia:Trains|Trains on Wikipedia]]
[[W:Trains]] can also be used as a shorter alternative.
Linking to Wikias
There are two kinds of wikia-link markup. To link to the article "Supergate" on the "Stargate" wikia, use this format; [[Wikia:sgcommand:Supergate]]
The other format, used by many older wikis, includes a 'wikia:c:' prefix, a holdover from Wikia's 'Wikicities' days. To link to the article "Shipwreck" on the "Gijoe" wikia, use this format; [[wikia:c:gijoe:Shipwreck]]:
Several sites on Wikia, such as Memory Alpha, have their own domain and can be linked to using a similar pattern to non-Wikia wiki: [[MemoryAlpha:James T. Kirk]]:
Linking to other wikis
Other sites of relevance to TFWiki can be linked to:
- TVTropes can be linked to using links of the form [[tvtropes:Main/DullSurprise|Dull Surprise]] which produces a link that looks like this:
Dull Surprise. - IMDB can be linked to using links of the form [[imdb:tt0418279|Transformers (2007)]] which produces a link that looks like this:
Transformers (2007).
Linking from Wikipedia
When editing pages on Wikipedia, links to TFWiki can be made using a similar syntax. For instance linking to our Generation 1 Optimus Prime article from a Wikipedia article can be done as follows:
- [[TFWiki:Optimus Prime (G1)]]
