External Wikis

External Wiki feature is used to make linking to topics easier.

Here are some examples: The string on the left are the wikilink shorthand. tw for tikiwiki.org, dev for dev.tikiwiki.org, wq for wikiquote, wd for wiktionary, lq for linuxquestions, wp for wikipedia.

tw 	http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=$page
dev 	http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=$page
wq 	http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/$page
wd 	http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/$page
lq 	http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/$page 	  
wp 	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$page

This way, you can make a link to that external wiki using the internal wiki double round brackets syntax with a prefix as "code:" inside. For instance, to make a link to

http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Download

you could use:

((dev:Download))

And it would produce this link:

Download
