Summary

Interwiki is a way to display hyperlinks to various websites or to other related wikis. Interwiki is commonly used for translations to easily switch between various languages that your wiki offers to the community of readers/editors.

Manual

  1. Visit Special:Interwiki
  2. Press "Add a local interwiki or language prefix"
    1. Prefix: stardew
    2. Forward: Leave unchecked
      1. Transclude: Check
    3. URL: https://www.stardewvalleywiki.com/$1

Upon creating an interwiki, you can now use [[stardew:article_name]] to link content that isn't featured in your wiki. For example, put [[stardew:Stardew Valley|Stardew Valley]] it will generate a hyperlink to that game page on that wiki.
