-The old wiki has a large [https://wiki.debian.org/InterWikiMap inter-wiki map], for links like <kbd><nowiki>[[DebianIRC:channel]]</nowiki></kbd>.  MediaWiki also supports [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interwiki interwiki links], but would we rather just use templates?
+Link to IRC, including a webchat link.
-This page shows an example of how templates can provide a better user experience - editors can see documentation that tells them not to include the <kbd>#</kbd> in the channel name, and viewers get both an IRC and webchat link.
+For details about interwiki templates, see [[Template:InterWiki]].
