Interwiki linking?
Either I'm missing something, or MicrasWiki isn't able to wikilink to other wikis. Only just noticed this as I'm transferring over FMF articles from CräiteWiki and a few of the links are broken now they're on MicrasWiki - for example, on CräiteWiki, [[wikipedia:Association football]] would link to the Wikipedia article of that name, but on MicrasWiki, it comes-up with the "wikipedia:" part of it thinking it's a namespace within MicrasWiki.
Would it be possible to (re)establish the availability of that type of linking, as it would become annoying having the little external link box next to anything that links to a Wikipedia page (which is quite a few things on the articles I'm going to be transferring over)
Thanks!

Re: Interwiki linking?
I would recommend use of Special:Interwiki Extension. Unfortunately, I'm going on a LOA from tomorrow, so I can't help with setting it up.

No worries, Pawel. Hopefully someone with the capabilities will do it soon

Have installed it, so you can use it if you want, or you can also use template http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:IW which includes other micronations wikis.

Re: Interwiki linking?
Someone with Sysop or Bureaucrat privileges could now go to http://micras.org/wiki/index.php?title= ... :Interwiki and add wikipedia, aw, al, as, bw and vw prefixes...
(example link after doing so: [[vw:Royal Marechaussee|the police force of Verac]] instead of {{IW|vw|Royal Marechaussee|the police force of Verac}} )

Re: Interwiki linking?
For anyone interested, I've added a [[microwiki:]] prefix so you can interwiki link to pages over there if you so wish

Re: Interwiki linking?
As I can now add interwiki links again, [[shire:]] has been added as a redirect to ShireWiki articles!

Re: Interwiki linking?
It might be useful to enable such an option for Gotzborg's Wiki as well, now that I've completed the profile pages for all 70 citizens, past and present. Might be an easy way to take care of some outstanding "wanted pages" on MicrasWiki.
