Hi, I am writing an encyclopedia fork. Since I am doing it alone, I have a lot of redlinks. I would like to redirect all these red links to Wikipedia, while maintaining its color as still red. How should I go about doing it?
PM Poon
Using css and javascript in MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js. Find all the red links, prefix their href attribute to Wikipedia.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I can't find any redlinks in the two files. Would there be a simpler method by going to the Mediawiki source files and edit it directly by putting [[Wikipedia:<redlink>]] to it? If it could be done in one file, it would be easier for me, because I am not good at programming.

Download Firefox and the FireBug extension. Open FireBug, click the inspect button. Click on a red link. FireBug will show you all the code related to it. You can override the css and javascript by editing the wiki files MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js. I don't know why you suppose editing the mediawiki source code would be easier. This is much easier. You do have to figure out how to do it, but this is really a trival kind of programming.

I don't like modifying mediawiki directly because the changes often get lost during upgrades, but if you can find a way to do that OK.. Probably isn't too hard to find grepping through the source.
Otherwise, you might try jQuery if you are new to javascript, since it abstracts a lot of complicated things away: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/179713/how-to-change-the-href-for-a-hyper...
You basically have to figure out how to say, "Take all hyperlinks in class new and change their href attribute to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki plus their innerHTML attribute"
I just learned that using FireBug.

I wont spoil all the fun for you. This is broken in some small way - it writes out the new link instead of changing all the links. I developed it in the firefox address bar, using the firefox error console to let me know when it was broken.

Hi Brian, thank you very much for your reply. I realized that my php foundation is practically absent and since I would like to expand the Mediawiki features a little for my site, I went out to buy two elementary books on it. After I read through, I believe I will be able to use this service more effectively. It's hard for anyone to teach when I can't even spell ABC properly, LOL.
