Inter-wiki

Official list of prefixes on meta, generates interwiki.php. Also see per wiki config on Special:Interwiki.

Key	Value	Example Key	Example Value
__global:id	(local 0/1) http://lang.domain.tld/path/$1	__global:rfc	0 //tools.ietf.org/html/rfc$1
__sites:wiki-id (= dbname)	site name/type (wikimedia, wikinews, ...)	__sites:frwiktionary	wiktionary
__list:wiki-id	space separated list of keys	__list:enwiki	b chapter n q s v voy wikt
_sitetype:lang	1 //lang.domain.org/wiki/$1	_wiktionary:fr	1 //fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/$1
wiki-id:key	(0/1) //lang.domain.tld/wiki/$1	enwiktionary:s	1 //en.wikisource.org/wiki/$1

Editing administrators should remember that the prefix (first column) cannot contain spaces ( ), colons (:), ampersands (&), or equal signs (=). They should avoid likely conflict with languages (en:, fr:, etc). Wikimedia Foundation projects shouldn't be added here, since they are added automatically. Unlike the first column suggests, none of the letters in the prefixes are case sensitive.
