Forum:(Solved) Bitcoin linking

Forums: Index > Community help

What is the preferred way of linking to Bitcoin accounts? I tried to put bitcoin: in front of the account code, but MediaWiki doesn't accept it. Example:

Bitcoin

Any suggestion as to how to deal with this? --MYself (talk) 19:38, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Bitcoin protocol is not one of the URL protocols natively supported by MediaWiki, but we can "fix" this on a per-wiki basis by adding the 'bitcoin:' protocol to the wiki's $wgUrlProtocols. --Jack Phoenix _(contact) 21:01, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Will you "fix" it for me then? --MYself (talk) 15:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Bump. Still waiting to be solved. --MYself (talk) 21:17, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

What's your wiki's URL? --Jack Phoenix _(contact) 07:21, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I just discovered, that the "bitcoin:" protocol is now working on my wiki. Thank you very much, Jack! Problem solved. --MYself (talk) 11:38, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
