Hello there. Sorry I had to run off of chat without so much as a good-bye, however, I was dealing with two admin on a wiki who seem adimantly opposed to cross-wiki linking. I do not think you have a clear idea of what I am discussing. So here goes.

Let's say you are on a wiki editing an article about beets. Well, there may be several wikis out there that might deal with beets. Let's say there is a botany wiki, a vegetable wiki, and a food wiki. Beets would be covered differently on each of those wikis.

Now let's say your wiki is about a video game where beets are something important. So, in this fictional scenario, you might cross-wiki link your article on beets to those other articles on beets.

Warning: The first link will not work.


 * Beets on the Botany wiki.
 * Beets on the Vegetable wiki.
 * Beets on the Food wiki.

Here is the markup for that:

But now you want to put a link to your wiki on those wikis. Botany may frown on it since your article on beets is only a video game prize, so they might not deem it worthy of even a link. My opinion would be that it would be better to send people looking for the beet prize to your wiki instead of messing up a scientific wiki. Right?

By the way, if you get a message that you got a message on the Tommy Westphall wiki, you can ignore it. I accidentally posted this there without checking which wiki I was on. Lady Aleena (talk) 03:59, October 18, 2017 (UTC)
