			== Gems from the East (multilingual) ==

			There is an extension '''HPBQuote''' to add quote from ''Gems from the East'' to the page with tag '''<nowiki><hpbquote></hpbquote></nowiki>''', but it is localized for English wiki too tight. As I have learned from code there is no way to optimize it for several languages (with different page structure and names). So I have wrote a new extension '''DailyQuote''' which reads quote from file and places it in article where '''<nowiki><dailyquote></dailyquote></nowiki>''' tag is used. See [[:ru:\|Russian]] wiki start page.

			So in order to place Gems into other wiki we need to create text file with one quote in line + localized name of the book "Gems from the East" in very first line. It makes 367 lines in file (29 of February should be present as well - it is not originally). Pass this file to [[User:Patrick Layden\|Patrick]]. He knows what to do further. After he confirms changes just the place line

			<pre>
			<dailyquote></dailyquote>
			</pre>

			at desired place in text. '''Both extensions can work together.'''

New page

{{TOC right}}
This is an addition to [[Theosophy_Wiki:Community_portal | Community portal]] ''Plans and announcements'' section in more verbose mode not interesting for general public. It's purpose is to collaborate the work of administrators of different languages wikis.

== Common templates ==
It is possible to use templates from other wiki. For example to place table of contents (TOC) to the right side, one can use template '''<nowiki>{{TOC right}}</nowiki>''' from English wiki. To do that in '''English wiki''', just add line:
<pre>
{{TOC right}}
</pre>
to use this template in '''other wiki''', add line:
<pre>
{{raw:en:TOC right}}
</pre>

This include method works for every interwiki link. See [[Special:Interwiki | interwiki table]] for the list.

== Interwiki ==

[[Special:Interwiki | Interwiki table]] holds links to all recognizable friendly wiki projects. Presence at this table makes possible short links to the pages of other wiki. This is true as for our Theosophy Wiki (which is - as for other languages in it - but a group of wikis), so for other wikis. It is good idea to add to this table all theosophical wikis.

For example if we add URL for Teopedia Library, we can use short link:
<pre>
[[:teopedia-ru-lib:Блаватская_Е.П._-_Тайная_Доктрина_(публикации) |Secret Doctrine publications in Russian]]
</pre>

to make the link to the [[:teopedia-ru-lib:Блаватская_Е.П._-_Тайная_Доктрина_(публикации) |Secret Doctrine publications in Russian]] page in Teopedia which will not depend on URL. That approach will provide more secure links and will save editor a lot of time if the URL of destination wiki changes (like in case of tswiki.net --> theosophy.wiki)
