I forgot to list the criteria!

The associated page is used by the Mediawiki software to add and
remove interwiki link prefixes (such as [[w:blah]] to "blah" on
Wikipedia). Any meta administrator can edit the interwiki map.

Please post comments to the appropriate section below (Proposed
additions, Proposed removals, Troubleshooting, or Other discussions);
read the messageboxes at the top of each section for an explanation.
Completed requests are moved to the archives (current).

Proposed additions:
	This section is for proposing a new interwiki link prefix; add new
entries at the bottom of the section. When requesting a new prefix,
please explain why it would be useful. Interwiki prefixes should be
reserved for websites that would be useful on a significant number of
pages. Websites useful only to a few pages should be linked to with
the usual external link syntax. Please don't propose addtions of sites
with too few pages or that contains copyright infringing content, such
as YouTube.

Proposed removals:
    This section is for proposing that a prefix be disabled; please
add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to explain why
it should be disabled, particularly in view of the difficulty involved
in correcting any use of the prefix. Completed requests are marked
with {{done}} or {{not done}} and moved to the archives.
