This is called "interwiki linking". The precise interwiki links used vary slightly for each project, and can be seen at [[Special:Interwiki]].

== Interwiki linking from and within Wikimedia ==

== List of interwiki links ==

Within [[m:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]], for the purpose of interlanguage links (see below), the project families are Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks and Wikisource. Thus, this applies for a link like en:, de:, etc., from a Wikipedia to another one, from a Wiktionary to another one, from a Wikiquote to another one, from a Wikibooks to another one or from a Wikisource to another one.

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,. while <tt><nowiki>[[metawikipedia:]]</nowiki></tt> does. 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 whish use it as a project namespace).

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]].
