We won't be giving a detailed course on MediaWiki markup here; just a few basic "how to"s, "do"s and "don't"s that will mostly get you by, when it comes to our wiki.

You can link to pages on [[wikt:|Wiktionary]], the [[wp:|English Wikipedia]] and [[metawikimedia:|Meta-Wiki]] as if they were pages of our own wiki, using the shortcuts '''<nowiki>wiktionary:</nowiki>''', '''<nowiki>wikipedia:</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>metawikimedia:</nowiki>'''. When you make an interwiki link, the outbound link icon changes from an upward arrow to a sideward arrow to show that you are linking to a fellow wiki, not some random web site. | You can link to pages on [[wikt:Wiktionary:Main_Page|Wiktionary]], the [[wp:Main_Page|English Wikipedia]] and [[metawikimedia:Main_Page|Meta-Wiki]] as if they were pages of our own wiki, using the shortcuts '''<nowiki>wiktionary:</nowiki>''', '''<nowiki>wikipedia:</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>metawikimedia:</nowiki>'''.

An example of using an interwiki prefix would be '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Test]]</nowiki>''', which produces [[wikipedia:Test]] (you can supply alternate text using the syntax '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Test|Test]]</nowiki>''' to get rid of that pesky prefix in the final markup: [[wikipedia:Test|Test]]). These prefixes accept language codes, so you could use the markup '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:de:Test|Test]]</nowiki>''' to link to the German article [[wikipedia:de:Test|Test]] (the URL will appear wrong, but Wikipedia knows what it means). | An example of using an interwiki prefix would be '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Test]]</nowiki>''', which produces [[wikipedia:Test]] (you can supply alternate text using the syntax '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Test|Test]]</nowiki>''' to get rid of that pesky prefix in the final markup: [[wikipedia:Test|Test]]).
