My Time at Sandrock Wiki:Interwiki policy

Interwiki is connecting two or more different wikis together. In this case, currently, and  are interwikis.

Links to My Time at Portia Wiki
Due to the structure of the My Time series wikis, it would be ill-advised to recreate all My Time at Portia pages onto the My Time at Sandrock wikis, as MTaP content is its own content with little to no relation to MTaS. MTaS Wiki should only be articles related to My Time at Sandrock. However, it is necessary to still create an interwiki link to MTaP articles on MTaS - to allow for further clarification if needed.

In order to link to MTaP Wiki, we have created a simple template that links to MTaP Wiki. This link can be identified as a light-blue link.

To create an MTaP link, use Template:Mtaplink.

For example:  results in

An alternative name can also be created by adding a pipe "|" after the pagename.
 * For example:  will result in 

Guidelines
Follow these general guidelines on when to and how to interwiki link.


 * Interwiki link articles that have no valuable information on the current wiki
 * The purpose of interwiki links is to link to an article that does not fit into the current wiki's agenda. For example, a character that is only mentioned in My Time at Sandrock and has little to no valuable information for MTaS Wiki should not have an article on MTaS Wiki. However, if that character has a full-fledged article on MTaP Wiki, then the article should be interwiki linked using the Mtaplink template.


 * Check to see if the article already exists before interwiki linking
 * Before interwiki linking, make sure the article does not already exist on MTaS Wiki. If the article does not exist on MTaS Wiki but exists on MTaP Wiki, then the interwiki link can be created. For example, Portia is an article on MTaS Wiki and MTaP Wiki; the MTaS Wiki Portia page should be used as the link instead.


 * Make sure to check spelling
 * Unlike normal links, interwiki links do not check to see if the other wiki's page exists. Always check to make sure that the link provided leads to an actual article. In most cases, the cause of a failed interwiki link is due to the spelling and grammar; even the slightest capitalization error can break the link. Never interwiki link to a page that does not exist.
