Language versions

Links to different language versions are normally done by adding the language code, before or after the project code.

[[s:de:Hauptseite]] s:de:Hauptseite
[[:en:b:Main page]] en:b:Main page

If the project code is omitted, Wikipedia is used as the target.

[[:fr:]] fr:
[[:os:]] os:

These links, when used without the leading colon (i.e., [[fr:]] or [[os:]] ) added links to Wikipedia into the lefthand toolbar, and do not appear within the page. See more at Help:Interlanguage links and at Category:Interwiki link templates.
