We don't do external wikilinks like you are doing, example: [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Krone Carl Krone]

There are two options for dealing with this:

  1. {{ill}} template. It creates a read link, but also a link to the German version. When an article is created on English Wikipedia, it becomes a blue link and the German link disappears. Example: Carl Krone [de]
  2. Either use de:Carl Krone or Carl Krone. It depends on the situation on what one I use. I prefer de:Carl Krone, because that tells the reader it is a German link.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nockherberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cellar. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Questions to the wikipedia community

edit

1. Is it preferable to leave terms that only refer to a German article un-linked (red) so people see that an English version is still needed or is it better to link it to the German page (that the English readership might not be able to read, though)?

2. Sometimes I can't use a picture of a German page in the English wikipedia. How do you deal with that problem?
