Interwiki link request
I'd like to request interwiki link with the PvXwki (http://www.pvxwiki.com) using the PvX: prefix, so that PvX:Main Page would like to PvXwiki's main page. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 21:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added that to the Interwiki map but that's not currently in use on this wiki. I'll try to get this enabled here. Is it going to be a problem if whatever links point to the Central Wikia instead of to Wikipedia? Angela 12:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Nothing on GWiki links to Wikia, so that would be a problem unless all existing W:something links were converted as part of this change. Also it would take a bit of getting used to since W:X linkage is second nature here now; may want to make a Site Notice or whatever [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 02:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * From what PanSola has written, thought the idea was we could use something like PvX:Minion Master in an article and it would go to an article named "Minion Master" on the PvX wiki, or have I mis-read something here? --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 02:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You're right. That's what it will do if it's set up. I was just wondering if applying the rest of Wikia's interwiki map here would cause problems since it includes w: to mean Wikia, whereas this wiki seems to use w: to mean Wikipedia. Angela 03:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * A simple bot to convert all W: to Wikipedia: or something like that would eliminate that problem, I think...Other than that minor snag, interwiki-map ability would certainly be handy for PvX linking. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * If there are still any w: links left, they will need to be changed to instead of  but it looks like that was more common anyway. Angela 04:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Any prominent W: links will probably get fixed as soon as people realize they changed, so I think you're clear to go ahead and add it now. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 04:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If we can't get a bot to do a search-n-replace, is there a way to search for em? (ie, generate a list and gather a few people to get them all corrected sooner rather than later). --Wolfie [[Image:Wolfie_sig.jpg|19px]] (talk|contribs) 05:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
