This is an extension to add a Special:Interwiki page to MediaWiki, to view and edit the interwiki table, and a log of any actions made with it. It was made by Stephanie Amanda Stevens a.k.a Phroziac, because she was annoyed at forgetting the interwiki prefixes. It's made for MediaWiki 1.6 onwards, and has been reported to also work on 1.5.

[edit] Installation

  1. Create a new directory 'Interwiki' in your 'extensions' directory.
  2. Download SpecialInterwiki.php, SpecialInterwiki_body.php and SpecialInterwiki.i18n.php (see #Download), and put these files in the new "Interwiki" directory.
  3. Add this to your LocalSettings.php, somewhere near the bottom: 
    require_once('extensions/Interwiki/SpecialInterwiki.php');
  4. Under that line, you have to add who can use Special:Interwiki.
If you want that sysops can use it:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['interwiki'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['interwiki'] = true;
If you want an additional user group: (those with the 'userrights' permission can assign this group - bureaucrats by default)
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['interwiki'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['interwiki']['interwiki'] = true;
Note
This extension's entry in the list of Special pages is not the name of the extension. The entry in the list is defined by the interwiki message item defined per locale in SpecialInterwiki.i18n.php. For English locales, its value is View and edit interwiki data.

These are recommended revisions of SpecialInterwiki to use per MediaWiki version. If a revision does not work with a certain MediaWiki version, please report.

[edit] Setting up interlanguage links

To set up interlanguage links using this extension, make sure that $wgInterwikiMagic is set to true and $wgHideInterlanguageLinks is set to false (they are like this by default, you don't need to change them usually). Then go to Special:Interwiki as a user with the appropriate permissions. For example, if the French version of your wiki was located at http://fr.foowiki.tld/wiki/, you could add http://fr.foowiki.tld/wiki/$1 to the interwiki table with values trans 0 and local 0. Then the interlanguage link to the French version would work.
