Wishlist & Tests

Would be cool to have Interwiki linking. I've been trying several things, but can't get it to work.

Apparently, this would be a link to wikipedia's article on Argentina, but no. I've tried Argentina, Wikipedia:Argentina, Argentina, this and others, but to no avail... I think that there's quite a bit of functionallity in this wiki that hasn't been activated... #if: doesn't work either...

Another option is that I can't make it work! ;)

For reference, here the WikiMedia's current interwiki map and sample map

Editing a wiki is a fairly simple thing to do; but to do it right, a bit of documentation is required:

• Wikipedia's Help and Contents editing on Magic words and Diff
• Parser Functions
• MediaWiki and its Manual Contents and Extensions
