Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for technical administration/Inter-wiki linking

Request for Inter-wiki linking

 * Type : MediaWiki configuration
 * Reason : Inter-wiki linking provides an easier way for editors to link to other wikis. For example, Name would link to the "Name" article on Wikipedia. In many cases articles in Guild Wars relate in some way to real world objects or events. Linking to Wikipedia is a useful way of informing readers of this relation. While inter-wiki links could be implemented for many wikis, at present there is only consensus to implement inter-wiki linking to Wikipedia.
 * Linking in this manner shows the link in a more pale color than intra-wiki links. Using the pipleine "|" after the article's name removes wikipedia's name from the link. For example William Shakespeare appears as William Shakespeare while links to articles in this wiki appear as: Guild Wars.

 * Possible pitfalls:None foreseen if only implemented for Wikipedia.
