Hint: the inclusion of external links takes place with one square bracket only, in contrast to the other internal links. Also missing is the upright bar which seperates link and description, it's now a whitespace. Without any description automatic numbering takes place.

  • interwiki links

These are links to articles in other wikis, such as the german VDR wiki, or the LinuxTV wiki. One can distinguish between normal and language links.

  • Language links (e.g. to the german VDR wiki) produces a language menu with a list of all languages which linked to in the current article.

Normal interwiki links just look like any other simple internal link. linuxtv:VDR
