User:Vanderdecken/Desk

Hello. For anyone viewing this by mistake, this is my Desk. It's where I post all the stuff I'm currently working on, and it's intended for my own reference only, although you're welcome to look around. Because it's designed for me, it's bound to be very untidy, usually just a jumble of links.

Thanks for your understanding, —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 16:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC).

The long form doesn't work within the same project. The shortcut works everywhere.

The Interwiki map on Meta lists many prefixes, among others [[wikipedia:]] [[wikipedia:]] for the English Wikipedia working from any Wiki supporting the Meta Interwiki map, not only from MediaWiki Wikis. Some prefixes work only with a page, e.g. wikipediawikipedia: (fails) vs. wikipediawikipedia:Interwikimedia link (works). These prefixes are case insensitive.
