Welcome To My Page

Thanks for visiting my User talk page! Please feel free to leave me messages regarding any aspect of my editing on Wikipedia (click here to say something). My only request is that you sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~), which will automatically add your name and the date. (It helps so I know who said what, and when, and it will make it much easier for me to address your issue and reply to you.)

I hope that both of us can contribute positively to this project! Thanks for dropping by! --FinFangFoom, from the golf cart capitol of the world Peachtree City, Georgia

Wikimedia links and shortcuts

Internal links work for linking to other wikis, and bypasses the need to paste in URLs (which tend to be both long and cryptic and make source text harder to read). This also avoids the appearance of the external link arrow ( ).

Here are the prefixes and shortcuts for creating links to Wikipedia's sister projects:

Project	Example	Shortcut	Example
`[[wikibooks:]]`	wikibooks:	`[[b:]]`	b:
`[[commons:]]`	commons:	`[[c:]]`	c:
`[[wikidata:]]`	wikidata:	`[[d:]]`	d:
`[[meta:]]`	meta:	`[[m:]]`	m:
`[[wikinews:]]`	wikinews:	`[[n:]]`	n:
`[[phabricator:]]`	phabricator:	`[[phab:]]`	phab:
`[[wikiquote:]]`	wikiquote:	`[[q:]]`	q:
`[[wikisource:]]`	wikisource:	`[[s:]]`	s:
`[[wikispecies:]]`	wikispecies:	`[[species:]]`	species:
`[[wikiversity:]]`	wikiversity:	`[[v:]]`	v:
`[[wikivoyage:]]`	wikivoyage:	`[[voy:]]`	voy:
`[[wikipedia:]]`	[[wikipedia:]]	`[[w:]]`	w:
`[[wiktionary:]]`	wiktionary:	`[[wikt:]]`	wikt:

The long form does not work within the same project. The shortcut works everywhere.

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. You can use piped links ( "|" ) to avoid seeing the colons in the link.
