The word '''''"wiki"'''' comes from Hawaiian expression ''"wiki wiki"'' == to do something quickly. Wikicode is perhaps the quickest way for a human to enter hypertext. There are more than one wikicode in existence but quite naturally the one used in [[w:Mediawiki|Mediawiki]], the software that runs Wikipedia and many other wikis. | The word '''''"wiki"'''' comes from Hawaiian expression ''"wiki wiki"'' == to do something quickly.

In mediawiki an external URL will have a small symbol after it to indicate a link not internal to the wiki or reached via the interwiki mechanism. | |||
Notice that internal links and interwiki links have slightly different color with the interwiki links being lighter in hue. If unable to tell just hover over the link and see where it leads to. | |||
Use <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[w:Fairtrade]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki> to link to Wikipedia's article on fairtrade and <nowiki>[[</nowiki>[[w:fr:Commerce équitable]]<nowiki>]]</nowiki> to link to the article in the French Wikipedia as simple as that. ( works for all languages, just insert the correct lang code ) | |||
This wiki has [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/InstantCommons InstantCommons] activated so all [[w:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]] images can be used on this wiki with the normal syntax: <nowiki>[[File:Filename.png|thumb|right|100px|Caption text]]</nowiki> | |||
