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 metawikipedia:Test might work for m:Test.

Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects can be made by adding the language code: [[:s:de:Salz]] or [[:de:s:Salz]] will link to the German-language Wikisource, [[:wikt:fr:sel]] or [[:fr:wikt:sel]] to the French-language Wiktionary, etc. For the language codes see List of wikipedias.

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.

Special versions of Wikipedia

There are also two special versions of Wikipedia, nostalgia and test. Nostalgia is a static copy of Wikipedia, as it was in 2001 and can be linked to by using [[nost:]]. Test is a version of Wikipedia, for edit and software testing and can be linked to by using [[testWiki:]].

Secure server

Links created by the methods described on this page always point to the normal servers. For methods to make links that use the secure server see Wikipedia:Secure server and {{sec link auto}}. ^{[সন্দেহজনক – আলোচনা]}

Links crossing languages and projects

As demonstrated above, by the double prefixes (for example [[wikt:de:Main Page]]), prefixes can be combined, thus enabling links that are not possible with a single prefix. For example; one can link a word in the English Wikipedia to a term in the German Wiktionary. The order of the prefixes does not matter. [[:de:wikt:Main Page]] will also work. Remember to put a colon in front of a link starting with a language prefix.
