Editing Help:Interlanguage links (section)

== Linking with external links ==
{{main|Wikipedia:External links}}
You can also link to Wikipedia pages in other languages by using external links, in the same way as linking to other sites on the Internet. This method should not be used in the body of an article, but it may be useful on User pages or Talk pages. For example, this method can be used to link to [[Help:Diff|diff pages]] that show the editing history of a page on another Wikipedia.

The following code:

:<code><nowiki>Tokyo 2020 was added to the French page on the Olympics in [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeux_olympiques&diff=96480208&oldid=96417677 this diff].</nowiki></code>

renders as:

:Tokyo 2020 was added to the French page on the Olympics in [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeux_olympiques&diff=96480208&oldid=96417677 this diff].

Templates {{tlx|Cross-wiki language diff}} and {{tlx|Cross-wiki language free diff}} are also available to construct diffs for other languages and projects, as is the [[WP:SPEC|special-page]] term <code>:Diff/</code>: <code><nowiki>[[:fr:Special:Diff/96480208]]</nowiki></code> will show the [[:fr:Special:Diff/96480208|same diff]] as above.
