InterWikiLinks

InterWiki links let you link to pages on other wikis using a short prefix instead of a full URL.

Syntax

[SiteName:PageName]
[SiteName:PageName|Display Text]

Examples:

The following sites are configured in ngdpbase.interwiki.sites:

Additional sites may be configured in data/config/app-custom-config.json under ngdpbase.interwiki.sites.

Adding a New InterWiki Site

Add an entry to ngdpbase.interwiki.sites in data/config/app-custom-config.json:

"ngdpbase.interwiki.sites": {
  "MySite": {
    "url": "https://example.com/wiki/%s",
    "description": "My external wiki",
    "enabled": true,
    "openInNewWindow": true
  }
}

The %s placeholder is replaced with the page name from the link.
