Prior to February 2013, interwiki links were generated using "local" links within articles, taking the form [[language code:Title]], where the language code is the two-letter code as per ISO 639-1. (See Complete list of language Wikipedias available : English language is "en", German is "de", etc.)
A quirk of the way this works is that if one were to add a section name when using such a link, it would override the section specified by the redirect. So Wikipedia:Section link#Interwiki links would go to the "Interwiki links" section of this page. Such overriding of section redirects should be avoided.
Linking through hyperlinks is an important feature of Wikipedia. Internal links bind the project together into an interconnected whole.

A set of interwiki prefixes can be configured to cause, for instance, a page title of wikiquote:Jimbo Wales to direct the user to the Jimbo Wales article on Wikiquote. [67] Unlike internal wikilinks, interwiki links lack page existence detection functionality, and accordingly there is no way to tell whether a blue interwiki link is broken or not.
In the interwiki links section of the article ZEN click on the pen below the interwiki links. This will take you to the Wikidata item for ZEN. Check that it indeed is the Swahili article, not the English one, that is wrong. On the "Wikipedia" section of the item on Wikidata, click the [edit] link.
A well written image description or gallery on the Commons will have plenty of links to the appropriate language Wikipedia. But interwiki links are always one colour: they do not indicate whether the target article exists and so they need to be checked by hand. Here is a technique to simplify the task.
