Template:Interwiki map talk header
The interwiki map is used by the MediaWiki software to add, remove or update interwiki link prefixes (such as
[[w:blah]] to "blah" on Wikipedia). Any Meta-Wiki administrator can edit the interwiki map at Interwiki map/list. It is synced to the Wikimedia cluster upon request through the completion of a Phabricator ticket. Please post comments to the appropriate section (Proposed additions, Proposed removals, Requests for updates, Troubleshooting, or Other discussions); read the boxes at the top of each for an explanation. Completed requests are moved to the archives.
{{interwiki request}} can be used to assist in the making and managing requests.
Instructions to Meta-Wiki administrators
- Interwiki prefixes are case-insensitive.
- You may use global search to look for URL and interwiki link use. Suggest the use of {{interwiki request}} when making requests for removals and updates.
- You can check the interwiki.php file to see the current map as existing on the Wikimedia configuration files, and Special:Interwiki to see the current interwiki map as understood by MediaWiki.
- Updates to the interwiki map on-wiki will not take effect until the cached version on Gerrit is updated. This will happen by itself the next time a new wiki is created, but if you want it to happen sooner, you can request an update on Phabricator.
- Wikidata stores the mapped interwiki code as an item for domains in the interwiki map using interwiki prefix at Wikimedia (P6720). Additions, removals and updates should be noted against the corresponding item in Wikidata. Also to note the directions at Complex constraint violations/P6720
