Interlanguage Checker

Check the consistency of MediaWiki interlanguage links in a simple overview.

Introduction

Interlanguage links allow wikis to tell users where to find translations of articles. Without the interlanguage extension, each translation is responsible for maintaining its own outgoing links. As the number of translations grows, the network of links becomes more complex, and the number of errors grows.

The Interlanguage Checker traverses the network of interlanguage links starting from a given article and shows you that network in a table. If there are missing or incorrect links, you can quickly spot them and fix them.

Usage

To use the tool, you should enter the link to the API of the wiki you want to check. For Wikimedia wikis, this is <example.org>/w/api.php. For Fandom wikis, this is <wiki>.fandom.com/api.php.
