From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
→How to figure out the name of a wiki

Unfortunately, this isn't completely universal. Depending on the wiki's relationship to the wikia family of wikis, it might not be so straightforward. A prime example is [[w:c:memoryalpha:Main Page|Memory Alpha, the main Star Trek Wiki]]. The actual URL of its ''Doctor Who'' page is: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Doctor_Who. This is immediately confusing, because there's no reference to wikia at all in the URL. However, linkage to this page can still be achieved within an article here at this wiki. It is accomplished by [[w:c:memoryalpha:Doctor Who]]. In cases where the wiki URLs don't have the "wikia.com", you will have to search through that wiki's help files to find an article that tells you how to perform an interwiki link. Or you might have to ask an admin there for help. You can also try consulting [[Wikia:Help:Interwiki link|the Interwiki link page at Wikia Central]]. | Unfortunately, this isn't completely universal.

====Even easier linking to "big" wikis==== | |||
Some bigger wikis are even easier to link to. For some wikis, linkage is exactly like Wikipedia linkage. | |||
*[[wikipedia:Julian Glover]] | |||
*[[starwars:Julian Glover]] | |||
*[[memoryalpha:Doctor Who]] | |||
To test whether the wiki is big enough to have its own prefix, enter '''wikiname:articlename''' in our search box on the top left of this page. If it takes you to the appropriate page, then you can use that syntax in a link. If it just creates a search error, then you have to use the '''w:c:wikiname:articlename''' syntax. | |||
