Interwiki links are links to pages of other projects, using a prefixed internal link style.
Interwiki links make it possible, to link to pages of (e.g.) Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews etc. or to your wiki-project in different languages (see Manual:Wiki family).
A link like [[Wikipedia:Main Page]] will appear like this: Wikipedia:Main Page and redirect you to Wikipedia's Main Page.
For setting up interwiki links, you might need to edit the database. If you don't want to, you can use Extension:Special page to work with the interwiki table.
One or two to rembemer, that is.
[edit] Interwiki links to other languages
If you have installed a Wiki family, you can link from an article in English to an article in German (if you have a German project, too). You can set up MediaWiki, to show those links in the sidebar, just below the toolbox.
In your filesystem, there is a subfolder of your MediaWiki installation, called "languages". Go there and have a look at "Names.php" as it contains a list of known languages and their prefixes. E.g. you want to add your German project, search "Names.php" for "Deutsch" and note the prefix "de".
If you know the "right" prefix, edit your database by adding a new line to table interwiki:
iw_prefix: language-prefix (e.g. "de" for German), which is listed in "Names.php"iw_url: URL to your wiki-project (e.g.http://de.your-wiki.org/index.php/$1)iw_local: same as above "Adding More"iw_trans: same as above "Adding More"
Now, you can link an article to the same in other languages. Adding [[de:Hauptseite]] on your english Main_Page will create a link "Deutsch" below the toolbox, which leads to the Main_Page of the German wiki (Hauptseite).
Note, that this link is shown in Sidebar's section, only, and not inside of the article. If you want to create a link inside of the text, you have to add a colon previous to the prefix: [[:de:Hauptseite]].
