Aha.. I didn't know there are so much from this kind of links. I have tested some links, some are linking to the wrong page on a website. For example [[cache:abc]] doesn't give the google cache of abc, but it searches for the word cache:abc. Is there a wikimedia-page were we can give feedback about this or make requests for other interwiki links? Hans (JePe)

See the interwiki map at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_map You can add comments and suggestions at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Interwiki_map and any meta admin can add new interwiki links. Angela

Why exactly do we have these "interwiki" links that go to projects with no connection to WikiMedia? Why not just use templates: {{youtube|foo}} (which might expand to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={{{1}}}|{{{1}}} at YouTube.com] rather than [[YouTube:foo]] for instance. Why is it preferable that they be in the software itself? Steve

Steve Bennett schrieb: Templates produce server load and have to be created on every wiki where a youtube link has to be used. So you can use the interwiki links in every project without having to import dozens of templates and looking after their dependencies. But you are right, they do not always look very nice.
