<h2>
|
|
<span class="mw-headline" id="Full_URLs">Full URLs</span>
|
|
</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>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
<span class="mw-headline" id="Page_name">Page name</span>
|
|
</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>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
<span class="mw-headline" id="Shortcut">Shortcut</span>
|
|
</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".
|

<h2>
|
|
<span class="mw-headline" id="http_format">http format</span>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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
