Dear developers,
_Question 1_
how do you implement/enable this in a Mediawiki:
- internal links to Wikipedia
like: [[wikipedia:de:Berlin|Berlin]]
- internal links to Commons
like: [[file:Berlin_night.jpg|miniature|Berlin]]
_Question 2_
This is requested in most Mediawiki installations.
But in many Mediawiki installations it does not work.
So I fear that a lot of Wiki maintainers do not knew,
how to implement/enable this...
Maybe it is possible to implement/enable it *as default*
in all Mediawiki in the delivery state?
Answer 1: This should already work out-of-the-box. But if you installed
MediaWiki a long time ago and were only upgrading it, you might be
missing some mappings. To add them, you can manually execute the SQL
query from /maintenance/interwiki.sql in MediaWiki core, or install the
Interwiki extension to get a web interface to manage them. (The
extension is bundled with recent MediaWiki tarballs.)
Answer 2: Just set $wgUseInstantCommons = true; in your
LocalSettings.php
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons>. The
MediaWiki installer gives you an option to enable this, too.
