InterWiki-style link

Template parameters[Edit template data]
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
prefix	`prefix` `1`	URL prefix Example WikiPedia	Line	required
suffix	`suffix` `2`	URL suffix to link to	Line	required
text	`text` `3`	Link text	Line	optional

The old wiki had an inter-wiki map, for links like [[WikiPedia:article]]. MediaWiki also supports interwiki links, but some links need complex handling that's better implemented with templates.

This page contains a fallback template for links that don't have any special handling. If you add a template that relies on this page, make sure to also add the prefix to Special:Interwiki.
