Re: External Wiki links - Wikipedia

posts: 3665 United States

You have to use the correct URL. Wikipedia's URLS do not include spaces. So, in your example, the URL shoudl be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_independence

not

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration of independence

Your wiki link should be:

Copy to clipboard
((wp:Declaration_of_independence))
