Actually, it looks like MediaWiki:Newarticletext probably needs to be edited as well since that's what you see when you click through a red link. The others are for the top text after a search using "Go" and "Search" respectively. Unfortunately, this MediaWiki install doesn't appear to have interw

This can be achieved by a wiki admin by adding the interwiki link to MediaWiki:Nogomatch. It may be nice to edit MediaWiki:Searchresultext in a parallel way. -md "Jason Dagit" wrote: >On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 8:50 AM, Roman Beslik wrote: > >> On 18.06.10 07:41, Jason Dagit wrote: >> >> On Th

I do not agree. They are not confused by other languages, they treat all languages as born equal. Do not forget, mathematics is the common source of knowledge for all programmers, creating our separate source of knowledge leads to isolationism and narrow-minded vision. If my words are too vague

I mean that a link [[X]] leads to HaskellWiki if X exists in HaskellWiki and to Wikipedia otherwise. Interwiki links requires to change all occurrences of [[X]] when X is created. |[[wikipedia:|{{PAGENAME}}|]]| may be handy on existing pages, it provides a link to additional material. On 17.06

Hi all. There are some notions which are not described in HaskellWiki but described in Wikipedia, e.g. "catamorphism". When clicking on a link [[catamorphism]] that leads to "create a new page" it would be nice to show link to a corresponding Wikipedia page. Also "search in Wikipedia" on the se
