Tip of the day...

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.

January 2018

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R. Laurence Berkowitz. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
