Wikipedia:Chinese interlanguage links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese within the [[zh:]] tag could be either Traditional or Simplified. It doesn't matter. Whether the user sees Traditional or Simplified is theoretically determined by his choice of user interface in his own Preferences.
 | This page in a nutshell: Just use [[zh:]]. The old tags [[zh-cn:]] and/or [[zh-tw:]] are defunct. |
Interlanguage Interwiki links
In Interwiki linking, in the case of linking to another Wiki project, but involving another language, such as linking from en.wikipedia to a Chinese language source on Wikisource, this may be done by first putting the project link target, then a colon followed by the target language as a prefix to the article page name, in the form:
[[projectname:languagecode:articlename]].
For example, to link from en.Wikipedia to a Chinese language text at Wikisource (zh.wikisource):
- Type:
[[wikisource:zh:天問]]
- To get: wikisource:zh:天問
- Type:
[[wikisource:zh:天問|天問]]
- To get: 天問
- Type:
[[wikisource:zh:天問|Heavenly Questions]]
- To get: Heavenly Questions
These 3 examples all resolve to the zh.wikisource page 天問, but without the misleading and distracting appearance of being an external link.
