How might we insert hyperlinks in ndg.nenawiki that link to nenawiki?

Description

Wiki URLndg.nenawiki

We want to use our private ndg.nenawiki to prepare articles for the public nenawiki site. Articles in the private ndg.nenawiki will be developed, edited, and finally approved for transfer to our public nenawiki. We would like to use hyperlinks in those articles that refer to our glossary on nenawiki.

When inserting hyperlinks in ndg.nenawiki, Is there a way to search nenawiki pages for links that would work before and after the article is moved from ndg.nenawiki to nenawiki? Right now, the hyperlinks are not found. In the example, the link shown exists in nenawiki but is not found.

I’m not quite sure what you are asking. Can you please clarify a bit?

AmandaCath,

I want to be able to insert internal hyperlinks in ndg.nenawiki that point to pages in nenawiki.

Then later, when we move the page from ndg.nenawiki to nenawiki, the internal hyperlinks will work.

Does that help?

You could try using the new global interwiki feature, by linking to [[mh:nenawiki:Page]]. In theory, the link should always point to the same place.

Thanks, Void. Where are the details about how to do this? Do I have to enable and configure an extension?

Nope, you should just be able to create a link like that. There are a few more details here.

The global link [[mh:nenawiki:authentication]] works on both sites. As you indicated, the search function does not work. We would like the search function to work, if possible. Should the "standard" interwiki link work? I tried [[nenawiki:authentication]] and it does not work. It tries to create a new page, instead.

Since we expect to be creating lots of hyperlinks, the easier we can make the process, the better. I suppose we could automate your global interwiki links with a template. But that would still not give us searches. We'd probably have to have two windows open to search in nenawiki for page links to put into ndg.nenawiki.

Any suggestions?

First point resolved in theory.

For searching, cross-wiki searching isn't possible unfortunately with standard MediaWiki. Might be possible with a gadget/extension though I do not know of any.
