To minimise the chances of a post being incorrectly flagged as spam due to external links, we have some interwiki tags set up to allow linking to external sources using similar syntax to normal wikilinks.

Nationstates forum posts, forum topics, and factbooks are all covered in [[OOC:Linking to Nationstates|a separate article]].

Additionally, there are some other useful interwiki tags which you may have use for. If you would like to link to external data and your target site is not listed here, contact an administrator. The link may already exist but has not been made public, and if not, it can be created if there is sufficient need.

==Googledocs==
<code>gsheet</code> allows direct linking to a googlesheet. To use this, open the googlesheet and take the document ID string: the part after <code>/spreadsheets/d/</code>, but before the next forwardslash. For example, in <code>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18nzDUhzp6ojfkiCtzYGauKfU_ixh_5BOCp_fmU5UYsM/</code>, we '''''only''''' want the bold, red part.

Then you can pass that to a regular wikilink, with the prefix <code>gsheet:</code>, like so: <nowiki>[[gsheet:18nzDUhzp6ojfkiCtzYGauKfU_ixh_5BOCp_fmU5UYsM|Trigrammes and Flag URLs]]</nowiki>, which produces [[gsheet:18nzDUhzp6ojfkiCtzYGauKfU_ixh_5BOCp_fmU5UYsM|Trigrammes and Flag URLs]].

To link to a googledoc, use the same method as above, but the tag this time is <code>gdoc</code>.
