[Wikitech-l] template for linking to GitWeb

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Hallo,

We have the interwiki prefixes '[[:svn:' and '[[:rev:', but last time
i checked we don't have any easy way to link to GitWeb or Gerrit.

Maybe it's possible to link to Gerrit using an interwiki prefix, but
GitWeb would probably be too complicated and will require a template.
(A "link" in the style of '[[File:' with a gazillion parameters is...
suboptimal.)

I started a template for doing this:
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Template:Gitweb

It's very naive and early, because i know very little about GitWeb, so
feel free to play with it and make it more useful. Also, it's not used
much now, so feel free even to break it :)

There is a gerrit interwiki prefix. You can use it like [[gerrit:1234]].
You're right in that making a gitweb one is impractical--templates
are the way to go here.
