Welcome to Meta![edit]
Hello Chen-Pan Liao, and welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). If you would like, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Happy editing!
External links vs. Wikilinks[edit]
There's a system in place to shorten links to other Wikimedia projects, like the one that's on your userpage.
Instead of typing [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Contributing_your_own_work Commons:Contributing your own work] you can use [[commons:Commons:Contributing your own work]] instead. (The first commons: points to the commons project, the second one to the commons namespace on that project.)
The project-named namespace (commons: on commons.wikimedia, for instance) can also be replaced with the generic prefix "Project:" to avoid confusion, so commons:Project:Contributing your own work may be used as well.
There is a handy list of them at Help:Interwiki linking#Interwiki linking from and within Wikimedia, if you'd like. Many non-Wikimedia projects are linked also, with a table of them at Interwiki Map.
If you already knew all this, sorry! Hopefully I've helped, though! Kylu 14:23, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
