When the user follows such a link, GetWiki tries to dynamically fetch it from the wiki designated as an external source (in Wikinfo's case, the English Wikipedia), then renders and displays the article text. A local copy is created only if the page is edited. Effectively, Wikinfo therefore provides a [[transparency (computing)|transparent]] "wrapper" around Wikipedia pages which have not yet been copied.


==Multilingual==
Although there are no subdomains on Wikinfo to separate articles of different languages, Wikinfo allows articles in languages other than English and requests that articles on the same topic in different languages link to each other.<ref>http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/index.php/Wikinfo:About/Purpose accessed 25 September 2007</ref> Existing links to Wikipedia articles in other languages are retained in the case of articles copied from Wikipedia.⏎
