1The original idea of InterWiki was to have one large distributed [[wp>Wiki]] over the whole net. Today its more of an easy way to link from one wiki to another by having some simple link syntax to do so.

3In [[doku>DokuWiki]] this is done by prefixing Wiki [[doku>pagenames]] with a shortcut separated by a ''>'' character.

5Examples:
6<code>
7[[wp>Wiki]] links to Wikipedia,
8[[Meatball>TourBusStop]] links to the MeatBall wiki TourBusStop,
9[[google>Wiki]] links to a Google search,
10[[doku>interwiki]] links to this page
11</code>

13[[wp>Wiki]] links to Wikipedia, [[Meatball>TourBusStop]] links to the MeatBall wiki TourBusStop, [[google>Wiki]] links to a Google search.
14[[doku>interwiki]] links to this page.
15
16There is one special interwiki shortcut called **''this''**. It always links to the webserver directory DokuWiki is installed in. You can use this to construct relative URLs. For example the following always links to the local [[doku>syndication|XML feed]]: [[this>feed.php]]
