Manual talk:Interwiki/LQT Archive 1

Is the Wikipedia: links excluded from the default list for a reason? (Or is it just out of date?) --82.71.113.222 08:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

--82.76.35.13 10:16, 20 August 2006 (UTC) Why is wikipedia out of default links?

Interlinking won't work
Unfortunately, when using Main Page, the page won't link to Wikipedia's main page when typing it in my own wiki. What am I doing wrong? --87.69.58.71 10:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Its too difficult
to set db table for interwiki operation. Am I computer technician?.....oops..

Too admin-centric
This page is too admin-centric. discussion of database tables, etc don't belong in end-user help. Bradleyb 20:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Very true. The admin-specific information should be moved to the Manual: namespace. --HappyDog 02:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Ugly Links
I think that's what it was called. My website requires I have "index.php?title=Main_Page" for instance. Does this affect interwiki linking? I ask because I can't get ANY of the listed ones to work on my Wiki. --Rezanow 08:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, nearly a month later, still busting my butt to get these to work. Just tried to get a mw: link to work and it still doesn't.  I've checked the database table, the entries are there.  Is there something else I could check out?

 * I can't get them to work either. I'm using MediaWiki 1.9.3 with PHP 5.2.1. Whenever I try to include an external template, I get an error messge that looks like this:
 * [Template fetch failed for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:User_en?action=render; sorry]
