This area is used to post information and notices that are relevant to all members of the community.
InterWiki Links - New Feature
We now have a new feature on the wiki, which allows us to link more easily to both Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha articles.
It's quite simple. Using the "Gorn" article, as an example, here's the links you would use to link to the Gorn article on both Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha:
- Wikipedia: [[wp:Gorn]]
- Memory-Alpha: [[ma:Gorn]]
Now, keep in mind that the link would appear as such: "You can read more about the ma:Gorn on Memory-Alpha."
To remove the "ma" or "wp" prefix on the link, just mask it like you normally would, i.e.-
- Wikipedia: [[wp:Gorn|Gorn]]
- Memory-Alpha: [[ma:Gorn|Gorn]]
Links appear in the "light blue" coloring that external links on the wiki use, BUT they DO NOT have the icon that shows they external links.
Using Appropriate Formatting
One thing I want to point out is the "See Also" sub-section. Please use the Wikipedia format, looking like this:
==See Also==
* Item 1
* Item 2
