Interwiki map

Archives (current)→

The associated page is used by the Mediawiki software to add and remove interwiki link prefixes (such as [[w:blah]] to "blah" on Wikipedia). Any meta administrator can edit the interwiki map. Please post comments to the appropriate section (Proposed additions, Proposed removals, Requests for updates, Troubleshooting, or Other discussions); read the boxes at the top of each for an explanation. Completed requests are moved to the archives.

Proposed additions

The InterWiki Map exists to allow a more efficient syntax for linking between wikis, and thus promote the cooperation and proliferation of wikis and free content. This section is for proposing a new interwiki link prefix. Interwiki prefixes should be reserved for websites that would be useful on a significant number of pages. Websites useful only to a few pages should be linked to with the usual external link syntax. Please don't propose additions of sites with too few pages or that contain copyright infringing content, such as YouTube. As a guide, sites considered for inclusion should probably provide clear and relevant use to the Wikimedia projects be trusted not to encourage spam links being added to the Wikimedia projects be free content (under a Commons-acceptable license) be a wiki have reasonable amounts of content not contain malware Add new entries at the bottom of the section. When requesting a new prefix, please explain why it would be useful keeping the above in mind. Admins, please allow consensus to form (or at least no objections to be raised over a period of a few days) before adding new entries, as once added they are hard to remove from the many copies around the world. Requests for removal should be submitted on the talk page in the removals section and will be decided on by a Meta admin.

Stewardry

Any objections to linking the stewardry: prefix to http://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/stewardry/?wiki=$1 ? The tool is often used and I doubt the prefix would be useful for anything else. Jafeluv 19:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

 Done [1] Nemo 23:00, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

OpenGL

There must be some prefix to the OpenGL Wiki? How can one find out what that prefix is and can we then add it here? —Kri 14:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

The prefix should probably be OpenGLWiki, but I don't find any license and there's only 1 link from en.wiki, so  Not done. Please ask again when/if the wiki has more activity and incoming links and a free license. Nemo 23:00, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Twitter

Anything could you add "twitter:" (http://twitter.com/$1) prefix? This could be useful for anonymous user trying to use the interwiki link. --Eneteng Kabisote 06:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: not free content, can have spam, not a wiki. Nemo 12:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Call of Duty Wiki prefixes

Please add these prefixes: callofduty: cod: codwiki: and callofdutywiki:. It is often to find content and I doubt would be useful for Call of Duty: MW series addicts. (http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/$1) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 112.202.119.139 (talk • contribs) .

 Not done: use the general Wikia interwiki. Nemo 12:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Fallout prefixes

Please add these prefixes: vault: thevault: fallout:. It is often to find content and I doubt would be useful for Fallout series addicts. (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/$1) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 112.202.119.139 (talk • contribs) .

 Not done: use the general Wikia interwiki. Nemo 12:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Blog

Internal reference to https://blog.wikimedia.org/ added bugzilla:31407 billinghurst sDrewth 03:33, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done as WMFblog:. Seems uncontroversial addition now that the blog has been revamped, considering other WMF-owned websites we have and that we might have other (Wikimedia) blogs to add in the future. Nemo 12:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia France

Please add this prefixe wmfr: to http://wikimedia.fr/$1 . Thank you very much. Antaya 15:47, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done and reverted. There's actually a reason why WMFR wasn't added before: the main official interwiki is chapter:, which works in the lucky case of WM-FR: fr:chapter: (see #"chapter:" interwiki). Did this change or do we want to add an interwiki for all chapters even if the "standard" interwiki works? Oh, but I see that the fr.wikimedia.org redirect is not working, so I'm reverting myself again. Nemo 20:45, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Marjorie-Wiki

Please add this prefix “marjorie:” for marjorie-wiki.org. The link is often used for Project "Other Wikis" and I think the prefix would be useful. Lady Whistler (Project Other Wikis) 13:23, 23 October 2011 (UTC) .

 Not done The wiki is active and under CC-BY-SA, but I see only 256 links to the main wiki (or 518 if the subdomains can be linked from the main one with a local interwiki), most of them from user spaces: it's not enough and I don't think we make exceptions for Wikipedia mirrors/deleted content savers. Nemo 17:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Veto!

The Stadtwiki Karlsruhe has approximately the same statistik.

Perhaps I have expressed myself wrong. Many created links are temporary and fluctuate daily (depending on how many items are deleted). However, the link is used very often. example This is the template of the Wikipedia project

(This is a Google translation, sorry my english is not so good)

Best regards Lady Whistler (Project Other Wikis) 18:08, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

@Lady Whistler Rating of this wiki is place 208 by List of largest wikis/Table Is this still correct? IMHO you should renew this request when figures are better.

@Nemo as i understand the links are essential to services on german Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (to be compared with Deletionpedia) Regards --Gruß Tom 18:52, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Stadtwiki has been added six years ago, we're stricter now; and because interwiki links are not detected by Special:LinkSearch, that's not the actual number. The interwiki doesn't seem needed: on that page I see only some generic links to the destination wikis, included via the template, which has several other wikis without interwiki. Perhaps you really need it and I don't understand because of the language barrier; feel free to write in German, some German-speaking sysop will review. Nemo 23:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Was soll ich dazu noch sagen? Der Link wird häufig genutzt, die Zahl der Links fluktuiert sehr stark, je nach Artikelmenge in der Löschdiskussion. Be einigen Artikeln die gelöscht werden, wird z.B. die Exportvorlage entfernt, hierdurch "verschwindet" auch der Link wieder. Die Anzahl der bestehenden Links ist der kleinere Teil - verwendet werden die Links um ein vielfaches und eben dieser Tatsache geschuldet, daß es unsere Projektarbeit unterstützt, finde ich die Verlinkung angemessen.

Ich mach mal "Knock Knock" ;-) LG Lady Whistler (Project Other Wikis) 05:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Auf Nachfrage von Nemo sollte ich hier mal schauen und sehen ob ich das einschätzen kann. Ich muss Nemo oben Recht geben. Zur Zeit als das Stadtwiki hier hinzugefügt wurde, galten noch andere Standards. Solche Links haben mehr oder minder nur noch so eine Art Bstandsschutz. Der Grund warum eventuell nur so "wenige" Seiten von dewiki direkt auf das Stadtwiki verlinken ist, dass die anderen links halt als interwikis vorliegen und bei dieser Linksuche dann nicht mit aufgeführt werden. Ich habe jetzt einfach mal in die letzten Änderungen des Marjorie-wikis geschaut und einfach mal den Artikel Urbane Seilbahn angeschaut. Dort komme ich dann als erstes zu dem Schluss, das die Urheberrechtsgeschichte da nicht so ganz eingehalten wird. Es gibt weder eine mitkopierte Versionsgeschichte, noch einen permanenten Link zur kopierten Version auf dewiki oder dem dortigen Lemma überhaupt. Gleiches für die Diskussionsseite. Vor allem damit habe ich ein echtes Problem. Sowas werde ich hier nicht zur Interwikimap hinzufügen. Ich muss mich damit dem  Nicht hinzugefügt von oben anschließen. LG, -Barras 14:13, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Dieser Artikel wurde heute erst importiert, die vollständige Importdatei mit allen Versionen liegt uns bereits vor und wird aufgrund der Größe von über 15MB nachimportiert sobald ich im Laufe des Abends dazu komme, die Importdatei mit einem Editor in passende Größen zu teilen, die Uploadbegrenzung läßt es leider nicht zu, die Datei in einem Rutsch zu importieren. Wie man an unserem Logbuch sehen kann werden ansonsten grundsätzlich alle Versionen importiert. Da ich selbst Admin in der WP bin, ist mir klar wie wichtig die History ist, alle anderen 265 Artikel mit WP-Löschanträgen versehenen Artikel in unserer Wartekategorie sind wie bei uns üblich mit ALLEN Versionen importiert, zudem läuft mehrmals am Tag ein BOT der zusätzlich eine Vorlage einfügt mit dem Hinweis auf die WP und Versionsgeschichte.

LG Lady Whistler (Project Other Wikis) 20:49, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Ich kann Barras hier nur zustimmen, auch meiner Meinung nach sind das definitiv zu wenige Links um hier extra einen Interwiki-Link anzulegen. Außerdem werden die meisten Links sehr oft geändert (bzw. entfernt), weshalb man keinen dauerhaft beständigen Interwiki-Link braucht. Deshalb bin auch ich klar der Meinung, dass normale Links ausreichen und hier kein IW-Link notwendig ist. - Hoo man (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC

Please add a prefix for the newly approved Wikimedia DC chapter. I assume it should be "wmdc" based on the other chapters in the map. Dominic 14:43, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Silly doubt: sometimes the "official acronyms" WM-US-NYC and WM-US-DC are used. Do other USA state codes conflict with other countries codes, or are we sure that we'll never need the US part? Nemo 17:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

DC and NY are not country codes. Certainly, several US state codes would conflict with country codes, but it's not even necessarily likely that chapters would form on a state-level. In any case, I think it makes more sense to be pragmatic about each chapter code as it comes along, rather than worry about potential future ones—there is no conflict with "wmdc" that I know of. Dominic 14:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Ok, let's hope no problems arise.  Done Nemo 21:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Ballotpedia

An active wiki, available under GFDL 1.2, which tracks elections and referenda and is kept up-to-date. The English Wikipedia has en:Template:Ballotpedia to link to it, but adding it to the interwiki map would make more sense. Interwiki would be ballotpedia: link would be http://www.ballotpedia.com/wiki/index.php/$1 --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 09:53, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

I see only ~80 links from en.wiki, which doesn't seem enough. Nemo 17:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

OWASP

Could the owasp: prefix to https://www.owasp.org/index.php/$1 ?

Where is it used? I see only 61 links from en.wiki, which doesn't seem enough. Nemo 17:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Amazon Standard Identification Number

Please add these prefixes: ASIN: to http://www.amazon.com/dp/$1. see en:Amazon Standard Identification Number--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Em.. any more article numbers of online sellers, too? --Saibo (Δ) 13:44, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I would not be inclined to do this, it strikes me as nothing more than adding institutionalized spam for Amazon. Courcelles 03:21, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

 Not done: commercial, etc. etc. Nemo 21:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Bibcode

Please add these prefixes: bibcode: to http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/$1. see en:Bibcode--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

This is not a wiki, so under the rules above I'm not sure we're still adding such interwikis (the same comment applies to the requests below; they might be all closed together). Anyway, is this the "official bibcode resource"? Nemo 21:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik

Please add these prefixes: JFM: to http://www.zentralblatt-math.org/zmath/en/search/?q=an:$1&format=complete. see en:Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Needed? Can we expect that the URL stays more or less stable or at least always include the "?q=an:$1" part? No conflicts with language codes? --Saibo (Δ) 13:45, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Also, this is not an open service, it's commercial and requires subscription; seems to be against requirements. Nemo 21:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

JSTOR

Please add these prefixes: JSTOR: to http://www.jstor.org/stable/$1. see en:JSTOR--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Again, commercial and requires subscription; seems to be against requirements. Nemo 21:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

ISSN

Please add these prefixes: ISSN: to http://www.worldcat.org/issn/$1. see en:ISSN--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Worldcat doesn't "own" the ISSN, I'm not sure we can assign it the interwiki code. Nemo 21:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Mathematical Reviews

Please add these prefixes: MathR: to http://www.ams.org/mathscinet-getitem?mr=$1. see en:Mathematical Reviews--Shizhao 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Additional search engines

The Interwiki map currently contains a link to Google. In the interest of minimizing the appearance that Wikimedia supports one general search engine in preference to others and to provide options for cases when one search engine is less useful than others, requesting the addition of two other large general search engines: Bing: which would link to http://www.bing.com/search?q=$1 and Yahoo: which would link to http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=$1. Please see en:Template talk:Db-meta#Recent change causing problems for anons and en:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Forced to enter a captcha each time I tag something for speedy deletion for additional reasoning behind this request. --Allen3 ^talk 11:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

wmbe

The wiki be.wikimedia.org has been created. Could "wmbe" be added to "//be.wikimedia.org/wiki/$1" please, in analogy with other chapter wikis? Thanks, SPQRobin (talk) 20:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Done. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed removals

This section is for proposing that a prefix be disabled; please add new entries at the bottom of the section. Remember to explain why it should be disabled, particularly in view of the difficulty involved in correcting any use of the prefix. Completed requests are marked with {{done}} or {{not done}} and moved to the archives.

Deja News

I'm surprised that there's still a link to Deja News; Google took over Deja aaages ago. And surely this link (even if it works anymore, and even if there are any instances of it on Wikipedia) merely duplicates the Google Groups link? -- 188.28.160.191 11:03, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I checked to toolserver database (which contains no private wikis) for finding existing links:

eswiki: 1 link w:es:Help:Cómo se edita una página

Trash!Italia

No longer active, actually there were no consesus in creating but it's just a dead interwiki. --Vituzzu 13:24, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment I'm a bit confused by this request, you're mixing up multiple reasons.

• Usually we don't remove interwikis only because the target domain is dead: a red link is not better than a broken link (it's definitely worse).
• I don't know if simple inactivity of the target wiki is considered enough to remove an interwiki.
• Lack of consensus for addition is yet another issue and should be considered carefully.
• Number of links and "health" of the target wiki can certainly be considered when reviewing a request for removal (to see if it's useful or not). Nemo 16:59, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Yep, there are *several* reasons:

• At all, a broken link has no value
• Those wikis don't exist now so they're not simply inactive
• They were added by Special:Contributions/194.177.126.153 many years ago, I cannot find any local discussion about this inclusion
• Actually I cannot find any link on it.wiki, but there isn't a perfectily working way to look for interwikis

--Vituzzu 17:40, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

We've just checked: both interwikis (golem and trash!Italia) are no longer used on it.wiki. --Vituzzu 16:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

 Done now, thank you. It would be better to know for sure that it's unused everywhere, but if it was not used at all on it.wiki it should be ok. --Nemo 18:31, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

As above, not needed, no consensus, no longer active. --Vituzzu 13:36, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Dead links are better than meaningless red links; it should be verified that it's not used any longer or that it's harmful in some way. Nemo 17:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Okay, I do not know how to search all projects. Anyway - it was just a suggestion since i noticed this. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 19:10, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! If you put the full link in those cases we can safely remove it. Nemo 17:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

airwarfare

Please remove it as:

• The MediaWiki wiki they had no longer exists
• They created a new wiki with Joomla at a different url
• The new wiki uses very different url structures
• The new wiki is not public, it requires being logged-in.

Requests for updates

This section is for requesting update for an existing interwiki. This could be needed if your site's URL has changed. Please add new entries at the bottom of the section.

Use protocol relative URLs (for HTTPS)

initial list by //Shell archived on older version

Web sites that support both the HTTP and HTTPS protocols should use protocol relative URLs. Below are two lists: one for sites which only use HTTPS (accessing with HTTP redirects), and the other with sites that use both. Note that I've only gone through A-R, though more likely need to be changed as well. //Shell 00:36, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I went through the list starting at "Revo" but did leave the list complete - ready for c'n'p. I changed all to protocol relative which answered correctly (and with Firefox trusted certificate) and which do not redir to the http version. 45 sites from a-z are protocol relative now.

Regarding your list: I get SSL errors (I know, still better than http - but normal people do not understand this) for those

• ifi.unizh.ch

Complete failure:

• www.suberic.net

Incomplete function

• https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/$1

Suggest to not set relative links for those sites.

Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 15:48, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I gone through A-R again and found one more site which is able to use https:

• | Advisory || //advisory.wikimedia.org/wiki/$1
• | OSMwiki || //wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/$1

I have merged all our lists in this ready-be-pasted list: de:Benutzer:Saibo/Wiese4&oldid=94384186. 77 relative links now. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 17:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hmm.. currently https://www.creativecommons.org returns the firefox error "ssl_error_bad_cert_domain". (not matching cert.) Only a temporary failure? If not we should make this also http-only. Did just test all relative pages with using https the second time. --Saibo (Δ) 17:46, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah, https://creativecommons.org (without www) works, as you noted below. ;) Okay, and http://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript redirs to the https version. Same: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Main_Page and http://www.socialtext.net/ourmedia/index.cgi?$1 . So we use https directly and only (understood your "only https" section below,now). (Updated the compiled list: de:Benutzer:Saibo/Wiese4&oldid=94385878) --Saibo (Δ) 18:17, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for doing this. You missed a couple of "HTTPS only" links (which I've changed those on your page). But you're right - it's probably simpler to have the complete list there. //Shell 18:55, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

No problem - thank you for beginning it! :-) Re your change: You mean that http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ isn't working or redirecting to https? It isn't for me - therefore I made it relative. Could you please describe the behaviour for the three sites on your computer? Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 21:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Haha :-) My mistake - I have been using the extension HTTPS Everywhere in Firefox, which redirects some URLs automatically. Sorry for confusing you. I reverted my change. //Shell 22:18, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Okay, as I think we are finished then, I will try to get an admin (in IRC) to update the list with the last version then. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 23:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Note (for me): Test page for all interwikis --Saibo (Δ) 23:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

• Comment A sysadmin should be contacted to check whether the interwiki cache script (and the interwiki cache itself) can manage such protocol-relative links. It doesn't seem obvious to me. Nemo 12:54, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

  They can handle it, and they already generate protocol-relative interwiki URLs for intra-WMF interwikis. --Catrope 13:26, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

When done I will put an request to pull the list to the servers in bugzilla as advised by Catrope. --Saibo (Δ) 13:40, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah.. and due to the three today's changes we have a new prepared version (I have made the changes). --Saibo (Δ) 13:51, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Pull request: bugzilla:31428. I hope for no bugs. ;) --Saibo (Δ) 14:06, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Question:  Done (servers): List was pulled to the servers at 2011-10-20 04:08 and 04:23 by Reedy. However, e.g. CreativeCommons doesn't get https - see: Test page for all interwikis. Asked in the mentioned bug. --Saibo (Δ) 13:55, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 really done now (Reedy did write the list to a wrong place). I tested not all but a sample of about ten. --Saibo (Δ) 14:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

... I have checked all now for HTTPS errors... and there are some. Strange: they are not relative in the list here. Why are the interwikis relative then?! They should get the fixed "http:" again.

  • Wikitech: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/test (and self signed)

Reopened the bug. --Saibo (Δ) 16:58, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Probably some error with regexes. I'm not sure we should remove all self-signed HTTPS, though. Nemo 17:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Those are the only one who are self-signed. I(!) know that self-signed HTTPS is better than HTTP - but the usability (at least in Firefox) is awful - even for me. And average users will not enter such a site at all. Therefore: Forced http for them (if somebody likes to have https he can use httpseverywhere or simply change the URL by hand). --Saibo (Δ) 19:09, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Finally - we got it. Bug is fixed (again) now (there was an override for WikimediaURLs). --Saibo (Δ) 11:16, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Please make the interwiki "svn" protocol-relative, svn.wikimedia.org appears to support both http & https. Thanks, SPQRobin (talk) 14:40, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

 Done. Nemo 12:56, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Bluwiki

Our current entry "BluWiki: http://www.bluwiki.org/go/$1" leads to a dead page. Apparently they dropped the "www" subdomain and moved to another tld - OR this is not the same site (I do not know this site). Working is: http://bluwiki.com/go/Main_Page However, the current target seems to be dead. --Saibo (Δ) 17:59, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

 Done: seems the same website [2] [3] [4] so I'm updating it. Nemo 13:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Troubleshooting

This section is for comments related to problems or corrections with the interwiki map (such as incorrect syntax or entries not functioning). This is not the section to request that a prefix be disabled (see Proposed removals above).

Generic Wikimedia prefix

With so many sites at wikimedia.org, I'm surprised that there is no generic "wikimedia" prefix, like the "wikia" one. Instead we have (not very useful imho) Wm2005, Wm2006, etc. (Just wanted to make an internal link to stats.wikimedia.org...) -AlexSm 15:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

This sounds like a good idea to me, but I think we'll have to create a bug for it. (I don't think the script that updates from this map will understand things like wm => http://$1.wikimedia.org/wiki/$2.) Cbrown1023 talk 21:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

"chapter:" interwiki

I've filed a bug: 24442 - "chapter:" interwiki link doesn't work for non .wikimedia.org chapters wikis. --Nemo 15:11, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I propose to add wmde: etc. interwiki as a workaround for all wikis listed in bugzilla:24442#c0. --Nemo 14:41, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Done for all wikis; wmau is the only non-wikimedia.org website which had already been added. --Nemo 11:19, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Since wmno, wmfi, wmpl etc. are also added. Please add "wmnl" to the map as well. Address: http://nl.wikimedia.org/wiki/$1 –Krinkle^talk 15:57, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 Done -Barras 16:00, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

There seems to be no interwikis for Wikimedia Pennsylvania (wmpa-us) and Wikimedia Brazil (wmbr). Ruslik 17:34, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

google

It's impossible to create a link with this interwiki to http://www.google.com/search?q=1+2 ? Liangent 10:43, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not really sure if links to google are that useful. Every language uses an other language code for google to get the information they want. I don't think we should add this. -Barras 11:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

google:foo already works. Liangent is asking if there is a way to search "1 2". πr² (talk · contributions) 21:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

[[google:{{urlencode:1+2}}]] -> google:1+2. X! 23:24, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

As πr² said, I'm trying to search "1 2", and after being encoded it becomes "1+2". Liangent 08:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

{{urlencode:1+2}} → 1%2B2 πr² (t • c) 15:07, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

So the question is, how to transform "1 2" into "1%202". Or rather, how to use rawurlencode() instead of urlencode(). –Krinkle^talk 14:28, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Although I didn't knew untill now, this has been recently added to MediaWiki in 1.17 (not yet deployed on Wikimedia sites yet). {{urlencode:string here|PATH}} uses rawurlencode. Example: {{urlencode:1 2|PATH}} => 1%202 (in the future this would expand to "1%202" instead of "1+2"). –Krinkle^talk 14:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

I see that there's been a short discussion before, Talk:Interwiki_map/Archives/2009-09#URL_encoding, and there's an open bug (bugzilla:15274) with some recent comments. --Nemo 21:15, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Shorthands for full prefixes?

To a lot of the pages listed here the prefixes can be abbreviated, for example, the prefix MetaWikiPedia can be abbreviated as Meta (if not even shorter), and Wikipedia as w. Although these two are the only shorthands for wiki prefixes that I currently know of, I suspect that there are a lot more. Would it be possible to add also shorthands for the prefixes here, or would that be messy? —Kri 14:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually there are no shortcuts, just interwikis with different histories. MetaWikipedia is the original interwiki for this wiki, when it was under the domain meta.wikipedia.com/org; then it switched to meta.wikimedia.org but MetaWiki was busy so Meta (which is also the current {{SITENAME}}) has been used. Wikipedia, Wikiquote etc. point to the English versions and are also included in the standard MediaWiki interwiki table (IIRC); w, q, b etc. are used like interlanguage wikilinks to link to the sisterproject in the same language (so w:it:b: is equivalent to Wikibooks:it:) and that's why they aren't defined here, additionally there are m (local) and mw (not local) for no particular reason.
