Interwiki Linking?
Hi! I have a request because my wiki knowledge ends here and I don't know how to reproduce the concept. Would it be possible to make an interwiki link template? That is, when one wants to link to a wiki article on Wikipedia, all one has to do is something like [[w:Ravenloft]] or the longer [[en:Wikipedia:Ravenloft]]. It makes things a lot easier for other templates that need to link to Wikipedia, as well (instead of having [http://en.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] every time). I've seen it done on Wikia, and I had thought it was a standard part of Mediawiki. Mediawiki discusses it here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_link . Thanks! --Nerit 01:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Ask and ye shall receive. At least this time.... :) [[w:foo]] now works. See? w:Ravenloft -- Admin 02:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yay, thank you! --Nerit 05:45, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
The Great Page-to-Category Conversion
Eeeeeep! Look at all them new category pages. When/why did you decide to make everything a category? --Nerit 08:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Try not to be alarmed. :) Not everything. Just the things that are categories. Namely, monster types and societies. See Talk:Elsepeth,Talk:Dread Plant & Category Talk:Hiregaard Family for discussions.
- Cure did some experimental work on making everything a category. See Category Talk:Osiris,Category Talk:Har'Akir,Category Talk:Anhktepot's_Tomb & Category Talk:Nidalan for details. I don't mind the nationality ones, but both DeepShadow and I were against the Har'Akir experiment.
- Please feel free to weigh in with your thoughts. With so few active contributors, it's easy to mistake silence for assent. :) There's nothing that can't be un-done, if there's a compelling argument to do so. -- Gonzoron 12:34, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
