The interwiki table stores the interwiki prefixes with their targets.
Fields [edit]
iw_prefix [edit]
The prefix of the interwiki link; this is used the same way as a namespace is used when editing.
iw_url [edit]
The target of the link; the page name is substituted for $1.
iw_api [edit]
| MediaWiki version: |
≥ 1.17 |
The URL of the file api.php. This is not used except by ApiQuerySiteinfo::appendInterwikiMap(), when an interwiki map is requested via siprop=interwikimap.
iw_wikiid [edit]
The name of the database (for a connection to be established with wfGetLB( 'wikiid' ) )
iw_local [edit]
Informs MediaWiki how it should treat interwiki links coming from external sources. If iw_local is 1, then it will treat these links as though they were generated from within the local wiki.
iw_trans [edit]
This is used to allow transcluding templates (or other pages) from another MediaWiki installation. Both $wgEnableScaryTranscluding and iw_trans need to be on.
