New page
Some InterWiki links from the old wiki (e.g. <kbd><nowiki>[[DebianBug:NNN]]</nowiki></kbd>) need to be treated more like templates, some can continue to work like old-fashioned links (e.g. <kbd><nowiki>[[WikiPedia:article]]</nowiki></kbd>), some might go either way.

The current recommendation is to provide MW-style interwiki links as a fallback, but nudge people to directly use templates. For example:

{|
! Wikitext
! Displayed as
|-
| <nowiki>[[WikiPedia:article]]</nowiki>
| [[WikiPedia:article]]
|-
| <nowiki>{{WikiPedia|article}}</nowiki>
| {{WikiPedia|article}}
|-
| <nowiki>{{DebianIRC|channel}}</nowiki>
| {{DebianIRC|channel}}
|}
