 The original idea of InterWiki was to have one large distributed [[wp>Wiki]] over the whole Internet. Today its more of an easy way to link from one wiki to another by having some simple link syntax to accomplish so. The original idea of InterWiki was to have one large distributed [[wp>Wiki]] over the whole Internet.

 InterWiki shortcuts are defined in two files: InterWiki shortcuts are defined in two files:
-  * the ''<dokuwiki_conf>/interwiki.conf'' file.\\ This is the default file, it contains all shortcuts suggested in [[http://usemod.com/intermap.txt]]. It is possible to modify this file, however this could result in your changes being overwritten when upgrading DokuWiki.+  * the ''[[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/conf/interwiki.conf|<dokuwiki_conf>/interwiki.conf]]'' file.\\ This is the default file, it contains a few predefined useful shortcuts (more can be found in [[http://usemod.com/intermap.txt]]). It is possible to modify this file, however this could result in your changes being overwritten when upgrading DokuWiki.
   * the ''<dokuwiki_conf>/interwiki.local.conf'' file.\\ This is the file to add your own interwiki links. This will prevent the links from being overwritten on an update.   * the ''<dokuwiki_conf>/interwiki.local.conf'' file.\\ This is the file to add your own interwiki links. This will prevent the links from being overwritten on an update.
- 
-You can place image files named after the shortcut in the ''<dokuwiki_root>/lib/images/interwiki'' directory to use them instead of the default icon. Interwiki icons should have a size of 16x16 pixels and be in PNG or GIF format. 
-You should also purge [[caching|cached]] PNG and GIF images as well as the CSS Files if you have the default image instead of the one you uploaded. 
- 
-<code> 
-rm -rf <dokuwiki_data>/data/cache/*/*.{gif,png,css}

-The last 5 parameters are useful when creating interwikilinks to cachesystems. Refer to the ''coral'' shortcut in the distributed ''interwiki.conf''+The last 5 parameters are useful when creating interwikilinks to cachesystems.  
-Examples of these placeholders can found in the ''<dokuwiki_conf>/interwiki.conf'' file.+ 
 +For example cached links with the old, not longer working, [[wp>Coral Content Distribution Network]] could be used by a ''coral'' shortcut, defined using a couple of placeholders: 
 + 
 +<code>coral http://{HOST}.{PORT}.nyud.net:8090{PATH}?{QUERY}</code> 
 + 
 +For example, [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/|Ubuntu's wiki]] uses namespaces and pagenames like this ''LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaPortegeM700'' and without using ''{NAME}'' as a placeholder in your interwiki.local.conf file, you'll get a "Not Found" error on their wiki, because it'll interpret the forward slash as a ''%2F'' ; so what you can do is add this line to your interwiki.local.conf:

 +If the wikiname will already include encoded characters (ex: ''%26'' for ''&'') use {PATH} in your interwiki.local.conf definition.

 + 
 +<code><shortcut>      <dokuwiki_root>:ns:..:</code> 
 + 
 +For example: ''enlib      doku.php?id=:en:lib:'' would address pages in the namespace '':en:lib:pagename'' if using the link syntax ''enlib>pagename''
 +===== Configuring InterWiki Shortcut Icons ===== 
 + 
 +Interwiki icons should have a size of 16x16 pixels, be in PNG or GIF format, and be named after the shortcut. 
 +  * ''<dokuwiki_root>/lib/images/interwiki''\\ The directory to place the image files in. 
 + 
 +You should also purge [[caching|cached]] PNG and GIF images as well as the CSS Files if you have the default image instead of the one you uploaded. 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +rm -rf <dokuwiki_data>/data/cache/*/*.{gif,png,css} 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +It may actually be enough to invalidate the CSS caching by re-saving in the config manager ('re-saving' means pressing the save button of config manager without any changes of config options). 
 + 
 +If you want to disable all or some kind of link icons, refer to [[tips:disabling link icons]].
