(using that syntax requires server edits. we are not a sister project of wikipedia. it is easier to create templates for links to other wikis.)

An '''interwikimedia link''' is a [[Help:Contents/Links|link]] from a [[Wikimedia Foundation]] project to another one (e.g., from [[Wikipedia]] to [[Wiktionary]]).

Some links don't work as expected within the same project, e.g., [[meta:Test]] on [[m:|Meta]] itself would mean [[m:Meta:Test]], a different page. Outside of Wikimedia sister projects, only [[metawikipedia:Test]] might work for [[m:Test]].   
[[Help:Interlanguage links|Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects]] can be made by adding the language code: <tt><nowiki>[[:s:de:Salz]]</nowiki></tt> will link to the German-language Wikisource, <tt><nowiki>[[:wikt:fr:sel]]</nowiki></tt> to the French-language Wiktionary, etc. For the language codes see [[List of wikipedias]].
===Suppressing the prefix===
<!-- There are two ways to suppress the prefix: -->
;The [[Help:Pipe trick|pipe trick:]]
:Add <tt>|</tt> at the end of the link, like this: <tt><nowiki>[[s:test|]]</nowiki>,</tt> which will automatically be expanded to <tt><nowiki>[[s:test|test]]</nowiki></tt> on saving.
<!-- seems not to work any more
;The template <code>{{tl|w}}</code>: This template, found on most Wikimedia projects, allows one to link to Wikipedia without either printing the "w:" prefix, nor needing to repeat the title. Thus instead of <tt><nowiki>[[w:Page Name|Page Name]]</nowiki>,</tt> one may write: <code>{{tlx|w|Page Name}}</code>.
-->
=== Special versions of Wikipedia ===
There are also two special versions of Wikipedia, [[nost:HomePage|nostalgia]] and [[testwiki:Main Page|test]]. Nostalgia is a static copy of Wikipedia, as it was in 2001 and can be linked to by using <code><nowiki>[[nost:]]</nowiki></code>. Test is a version of Wikipedia, for edit and software testing and can be linked to by using <code><nowiki>[[testWiki:]]</nowiki></code>.
=== Secure server ===
Links created by the methods described on this page always point to the normal servers. For methods to make links that use the secure server see [[Wikipedia:Secure server]] and {{tl|sec link auto}}.
