How to create a working redirect to another wiki in another language

Banged my head for over three hours trying with the (not so great) help within KSP wiki to make one such redirect as in title. Did a lot of tries with help from mediawiki, and in the end found what I needed from Interwiki linking.

where: w: points to wikipedia wiki (may choose other wikis as needed) lg: instructs for a page in the specified language (two-letter code) page is the title of the page, as it appears in the wiki pointed by the redirect
