+''I think it's now ready for testing (see r1912)''
+
+== Definition ==
+
+An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page
+located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object
+located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL 
+mapping can be done.
+
+== Link Syntax ==
+
+{{{
+<target_wiki>(:<identifier>)+
+}}}
+
+The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name,
+followed by a column (e.g. {{{MeatBall:}}}),
+followed by a page specification in the target.
+
+The target Wiki URL is looked up in a the InterMapTxt wiki page, 
+modelled after
+[http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?InterMapTxt MeatBall:InterMapTxt].
+
+An addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target
+is simply ''appended'' to the URL, 
+Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs:
+identifiers {{{$1}}}, {{{$2}}}, ... in the URL
+will be replaced by corresponding arguments from a list
+made up from the page specification split by the ':' token.
+
+== Examples ==
+
+If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
+
+{{{

+
+This is the InterMapTxt wiki page,
+modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page.
