Forum:Local InterWikiMap is not working

The Fastmail wiki used to run on a MediaWiki implementation on Fastmail's own servers, until the spam problem got to be too much and, after being switched to read-only mode for about a month, it got moved to Wikia in March 2011. Amongst the things set up on it was an InterWikiMap, including some custom links such as EmdThread and EmdPost to facilitate linking to threads and posts on the Fastmail forum on EmailDiscussions.

On the old version this worked fine, but since moving to Wikia the custom links no longer work, and this has caused a lot of redlinks in articles.

Hence I would like to ask:


 * 1) What is causing this? Is it, as I suspect, that our present wiki is using a global InterWikiMap rather than the local one as it should?
 * 2) More importantly, can this problem be fixed? (I am an admin but not a bureaucrat.)

 * I think you're right, the wiki is using the global interwiki map, and not a local one. I don't know if local interwikis can be added - but it would be something Staff have to deal with. I'd recommend sending a message to Special:Contact with the links that you need to be added, and ask if they could be added either locally, or wikia-wide. --  Random Time  16:57, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
