Some links don't work as expected within the same project, e.g., meta:Test on Meta itself would mean m:Meta:Test, a different page. Outside of Wikimedia sister projects, only metawiki.gis.com:Test might work for m:Test.
Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects can be made by prefixing the language code: [[:de:s:]] will link to the German-language Wikisource, [[:fr:wikt:]] to the French-language Wiktionary, etc.
[edit] Suppressing the prefix
- The pipe trick:
- Add | at the end of the link, like this: [[s:test|]], which will automatically be expanded to [[s:test|test]] on saving.
[edit] Special versions of wiki.gis.com
There are also two special versions of wiki.gis.com, nostalgia and test. Nostalgia is a static copy of wiki.gis.com, as it was in 2001 and can be linked to by using nost:. Test is a version of wiki.gis.com, for edit and software testing and can be linked to by using [[testWiki:]].
[edit] Examples
| Wikitext | Results |
|---|---|
Main Page [[:de:Hauptseite]]etc. | Main Page de:Hauptseite etc. |
commons:Main Page | commons:Main Page |
commons:category:Wikimedia | commons:category:Wikimedia |
[[wikibooks:Main Page|]] | Main Page |
wikt:de:Rechner | wikt:de:Rechner |
[[wiktionary:de:Rechner|]] | de:Rechner |
As demonstrated above, by the double prefixes (for example [[wikt:de:Main Page]]), links may cumulate, thus enabling links that are not possible with a single prefix, for example, linking a word in the English wiki.gis.com to a term in the German Wiktionary.
