Linking to pages located on another wiki is just as easy as linking to any page on our own. A list of all the sites available for interwiki linking is available onSpecial:Interwiki. If you'd like to request a site to be added to the list, just leave a message on the talk page of anyDirector.

The best way to learn how to use interwiki links is just to look at a few examples.

Examples[edit]

Linking toBlooper onSuper Mario Wiki.
[[mariowiki:Blooper]] becomesmariowiki:Blooper.
[[mariowiki:Blooper|Blooper]] becomesBlooper.

Linking toOutset Island onZelda Wiki.
[[zeldawiki:Outset Island]] becomeszeldawiki:Outset Island.
[[zeldawiki:Outset Island|Outset Island]] becomesOutset Island.

Searching forTortimer onGoogle.
[[google:Tortimer]] becomesgoogle:Tortimer.
[[google:Tortimer|Tortimer]] becomesTortimer.

Seem easy? That's because it is! We didn't even need to put more than one example to explain it. It's that simple!

Why use interwiki links?[edit]

You may be wondering why interwiki links are recommended over regular links. Both will work, but interwiki links allow us to update all links from a certain site very quickly. This comes in handy when a site changes its domain or URL scheme. Because of this, the Nookipedia team asks that all users try to use interwiki links whenever possible.
