Is it impossible to link to Japanese language pages? I tried to link to [[ja:ƒA[ƒ~ƒbƒVƒ…]] but it doesn't show up after I save. I can link though from the Esperanto Amish page to the Japanese page.

It is possible to do it, as I've seen Japanese links work correctly. What's the exact title of the Japanese page? Maybe I can figure it out. The Esperanto page displays only ???? on my browser, though the link works fine. Tokerboy

I linked successfully from the article on PA Dutch/German but I have not been able to do so with this person's Amish article. The title for the japanese article is "Amishu" written in katakana script.

But what are you supposed to type? I don't know how to write in katakana. I'll leave a message for User:Brion Vibber as he may know how to fix the link. Tokerboy

-- It doesn't show up even if I write it. I tried to write it in the first paragraph :). If you want to know how to get to the Japanese Amish page you can go to the page on PA German and go to the Japanese version and from there hit the link in the article. Then you have the Japanese version of the Amish. It is pretty small because my Japanese abilities are limited.

Unfortunately, all I get is question marks as I don't have any fonts that can display Japanese characters. (Unless every word in Japanese really is "???????", but I imagine that would be confusing.) Tokerboy 05:05 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)

It works now. I found the article through the Esperanto page, then copied the name in the address bar. You can use ja:アーミッシュ or [[ja:アーミッシュ]], on a talk page showing up as ja:アーミッシュ; in Esperanto the Japanese characters themselves were in the edit box, and when I tried to copy these to the edit box in the English wikipedia, that did not work. I changed the Esperanto link to one of the other two forms to enable copying. - Patrick 11:17 Feb 6, 2003 (UTC)
