* Other current Wikimedia prefixes: [[betawikiversity:]] (shortform: [[v:mul:]]), [[download:]], [[dbdump:]], [[gerrit:]], [[mail:]], [[mailarchive:]], [[outreach:]], [[otrs:]], [[OTRSwiki:]], [[quality:]], [[spcom:]], [[ticket:]], [[tools:]], [[tswiki:]], [[svn:]], [[sulutil:]] [[rev:]], [[wmania:]]</span>, [[wm2016:]], [[wm2017:]].

Line 207:
The '''long forms''' are sometimes overwritten by namespaces with the same name. For example <tt><nowiki>[[meta:]]</nowiki></tt> prefers to the Project namespace instead on Meta. The '''shortcuts''' should work everywhere.
The [[m:Interwiki map|interwiki map]] on Meta lists many prefixes, among others, <tt><nowiki>[[wikipedia:]]</nowiki></tt> for the English Wikipedia, working from any Wiki supporting the Meta interwiki map (except for Wikipedias
The shortcuts have different histories. Wikipedia, Wikiquote etc. point to the English versions via an entry in [[m:Interwiki map]], and are also included in [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki/browse/master/maintenance/interwiki.list the standard MediaWiki interwiki table]; w, q, b, wikt 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 are hardcoded rather than part of [[interwiki map]].
Line 213:
Non-Wikimedia interwiki codes have a limitation, that they can only be used through a link. For example, the entry for "[[wikt:John|John]]" on Wiktionary, a Wikimedia project, can be accessed by <tt><nowiki>[[wikt:John]]</nowiki></tt> or http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/wikt:John. However, the latter method does not work for non-Wikimedia wikis. For example, the main page on the Mozilla Wiki can be accessed via <tt><nowiki>[[MozillaWiki:Main Page]]</nowiki></tt>, but http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MozillaWiki:Main_Page results in an error. In these cases, Special:Search can be used (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/MozillaWiki:Main_Page). You can see [[m:Special:Interwiki|the Interwiki special page]] for a list of "forward" and "non-forward" prefixes.

== Technical ==
A project's namespace prefix cannot be reused as code for an external project. However, the prefix used for a target project may coincide with the prefix for a project namespace, within that project.
