Mediawiki offers a feature called '''interwikis''', which allow for treating links to other wikis, such as [[w:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], as internal links. The interwiki links are called upon using what appears to look like namespaces, such as <code><nowiki>[[w:Wikipedia]]</nowiki></code>.
Only Interwiki Administrators are able to edit the interwiki table. Interwiki permissions requires asking either a [[m:Stewards|steward]] or global [[Special:GlobalUsers/interwiki-admin|interwiki administrator]] on the Miraheze [[m:Community noticeboard|noticeboard]]; asking another admin, or even [[User:Celeste|Celeste, founder of this wiki]], won't suffice, unless a <code>bureaucrat</code> has won a local election on this wiki (usually at [[Celeste Wiki talk:Interwikis]]) and [[m:Stewards|Stewards]] have been advised to assess said election to ensure it meets the requirements. On '''1 February 2021''', Celeste was declared elected by a [[m:Stewards|Steward]], and now serves as a local <code>[[Special:ListUsers/interwiki-admin|interwiki administrator]]</code> for this wiki.
