That link leads to an "article" on Meta Wiki (when it should lead you to one on Wikipedia). You need, instead of [[Article]], use [[w:Article|Article]] to force the redirect to Wikipedia. :)
It's w: for Wikipedia, s: for Wikisource, c: for Commons, wikt: for Wiktionary, etc. Country codes can be used as well/instead ([[:ko:s:Foo]] for the Korean Wikisource, [[:de:Bar]] for the German Wikipedia, etc). You need that initial colon to prevent the VisualEditor treating the link as an interwiki thing... that's a whole other story though ;) Hopefully that makes sense :) Joe On 26 October 2015 at 17:22, Jeff Elder <[email protected]> wrote: > Excellent point, Joe. > Question: I went to the links posted on the meta wiki as suggestions for > tweets for articles to be improved, but the links take you to a page asking > you to create said article.
