< / h2 >
< p >
A full URL will point absolutely to one specific page in one specific wiki from any wiki.
< / p >
< p >
For example, "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" will always navigate to the "Earth" page in "en.wikipedia.org" regardless of whether the current wiki is "en.wikipedia.org", "en.wiktionary.org" or "simple.wikipedia.org"
< / p >

< span class = "mw-headline" id = "Page_name" > Page name< / span >
2016-04-17 15:48:03 +00:00
< / h2 >
< p >
A short name allows quick lookup of an article within the current wiki.
< / p >
< p >
For example, if you are in "en.wikipedia.org", typing in just "Earth" will take you to the Earth page inside en.wikipedia.org.
< / p >

2016-04-17 15:48:03 +00:00
< / h2 >
< p >
A shortcut is a compromise between the absolute reference of a full URL and the brevity of a page name.
< / p >
< p >
For example, "w:Earth" will always take you to "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" from any other wiki. It is only 2 characters longer than "Earth".

An http format url allows for copying and pasting directly from Firefox or other applications.
< / p >
< p >
For example:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Right click on any link to wikipedia
< / li >
< li >
Select "Copy Link Location"
< / li >
< li >
Press Ctrl-V to paste the link into the address bar. This will paste the full url of "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"
< / li >
< li >
Press Enter. You will be redirected to "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
Alternatively, instead of Ctrl-V and Enter, you can also middle-click on the URL bar. This will:
< / p >
< ul >
< li >
Delete all text
< / li >
< li >
Paste whatever's on your clipboard into the Address bar
< / li >
< li >
Automatically try to open the page
< / li >
< / ul >
< p >
On a similar note, you can also copy and paste urls of the format "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/The_Blue_Marble.jpg". This will be converted to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The Blue Marble.jpg
< / p >
< p >
Note that http format also works for urls with the format of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earth
