Is in [OpenWrt DokuWiki](https://openwrt.org/) config file (eg. conf/interwiki.local.conf) the [interwiki link](https://www.dokuwiki.org/Interwiki) "hwinfo" changed from "[https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/)" to "[http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/](http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/)"? I noticed on [OpenWrt DokuWiki techdata page of Ubiquiti UniFi AP](https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_unifi) the ["WikiDevi ID" link](http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Ubiquiti_Networks_UniFi) gave a page with "`...There is currently no text in this page...`". When editing that [Ubiquiti UniFi AP techdata page](https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_unifi), the "WikiDevi ID" comment mentions "`Enter only from https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/`". Unfortunately that "WikiDevi ID" link does not result in a "[https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/)" link but opens a "[http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/](http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/)" page. Also [all "hwinfo"](https://openwrt.org/?q=hwinfo&do=search) [interwiki links](https://www.dokuwiki.org/Interwiki) are not using "[https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/)" anymore but "[http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/](http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/)". Probably there is a logical cause/motivation for that [OpenWrt DokuWiki](https://openwrt.org/) [interwiki link](https://www.dokuwiki.org/Interwiki) configuration change and I am looking forward for further help in this from somebody. Thanks and all the best. ---

The wikidevi ID is meant as backup for situations where the original `wikidevi.wi-cat.ru` link is not available (which was the case at some time during the past 4 weeks). It is based on the assumption, that every descendant of the original wikidevi (`wikidevi.wi-cat.ru` is one of those) has the same link scheme as the original wikidevi. In this case, the wikidevi link in the dataentry was working for `wikidevi.wi-cat.ru` due to a redirect, whereas techinfodepot didn't have this redirect. I have now corrected the wikidevi link in the dataentry, resulting in working links for both `wikidevi.wi-cat.ru` and techinfodepot. ---

WikiDevi was replaced by DeviWiki - [https://deviwiki.com/](https://deviwiki.com/) ---

wikidevi has been replaced by several descendants, not only deviwiki. ---

I don't keep track of the histories... I use either DeviWiki (which has "ex WikiDevi" in it's title page) or TechInfoDepot. ---

I am a frequent contributor to [https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/) as can be seen by [Contributions](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Special:Contributions/Rayknight) and most of the other wikis are just taking my entries from there! DeviWiki appears to have not any new entries since 2019. ---

[wikidevi.wi-cat.ru](http://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru) is my reference as well sine wikidevi went defunct. And I can tell you from personal experience the site operator is picky about details (and details matter with embedded). ---

@tmomas, thanks for the quick response with info and action. Now I notice during editing an [OpenWrt DokuWiki](https://openwrt.org) page when pasting the url [https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/](https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/), that url is automatically replaced by `[[hwinfo_alternative2>]]`. In preview such link is not working. I can solve it by typing the url instead of pasting it. ---

Thanks for letting me know, issue is fixed now. ---
