How to link to Wikitravel / Wikipedia

You can create links to Wikitravel and Wikipedia articles using the standard interwiki link format (remove the spaces before brackets):

[ wt:Name of Wikitravel article ]

[ wp:Name of Wikipedia article|display name ]

A full list of interwiki links can be found here.

Just to be a pain

Since Crossroads will be supporting many of the same languages Wikitravel supports. Is it currently possibly to use interwiki links to link to a Wikitravel DE, or SV page? If not, will it be possible to in the future?

 

Languages

I think our goal is, as much as possible, to support all the languages Wikitravel supports (and then some).

It's possible to link to the other languages using a language prefix, like de:Kalifornien.

Since that looks a little funny, I think it's probably a good idea to have separate interwiki prefixes for the other languages.

Better

So, I added some more interwiki prefixes to allow linking directly to the non-English languages. using [ de:Kalifornien ] should get you Kalifornien, and similarly for the other langs. I also added en: just in case.
