Inter Wiki Links
InterWikiLinks are a shorthand syntax to reference pages in other wikis. Typically you would have to write a complete Internet address, for example:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiWeb
Based on a table of shortcuts, you can write this shorter
WardsWiki:WikiWikiWeb
DorfWiki:FrontPage
and in a more pleasing way.
Configuration
There are typically three places to put interwiki definitions:
- a single intermap.txt file in the ServerDir (definitions are effective for all wikis on the WikiServer)
- the standard wiki.cfg file (old standard configuration file, effective for the LocalWiki)
- the TopContextPage (also effective for the LocalWiki, more common nowadays than wiki.cfg)
Option/Interweb documents the syntax.
Notes
The current list can be displayed by using CdmlDisplay, for this wiki in /CurrentList
InterWikiLinks can be decorated by LinkTypeIcons.
In principle you can put the link definition in any "Context " subpage but this is not very common, because it would be effective only for the respective PageBranch. It could make sense in a SubWiki -ContextPage, when the admin wants to keep the definitions focused where they are really needed or when the existing SubWikis are very independent.
