This is a supplement to the Community portal's Plans and announcements section, providing a platform for technical matters that are not of interest to the general public. Its purpose is to aid in collaborations of editors and administrators of different language wikis.
Common templates
It is possible to use templates from the other Theosophy wikis. For example to place the table of contents (TOC) to the right side, one can use the template {{TOC right}} from the English wiki. To do that in the English wiki, just add this line:
{{TOC right}}
to use this template in another language, add line:
{{raw:en:TOC right}}
This method works for every interwiki link. See interwiki table for the list.

Interwiki
The Interwiki table holds links to all related and friendly wiki projects. Presence in this table makes possible short links to the pages of other wikis, whether they are the various language editions in the Theosophy Wiki family or unrelated Theosophical wikis. It is good idea to add to this table all Theosophical wikis.
For example if we add the URL for Teopedia Library, we can use this short link:
[[:teopedia-ru-lib:Блаватская_Е.П._-_Тайная_Доктрина_(публикации) |Secret Doctrine publications in Russian]]
to make the link to the Secret Doctrine publications in Russian page in Teopedia which will not depend on a 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)

Edittools
The Edittools page holds text which will be placed below the edit window.
This tool is very useful for editors so they can easily cut and paste special characters and symbols. It can be configured for every wiki separately or could be included from another wiki (See Common templates above).
It is configured now for English and Russian wikis.
