Aliases Wikipedia:Namespace

wp:alias

there 6 aliases defined namespaces, of case-insensitive:

if link made page title beginning 1 of these strings, or if such title entered in search box or used in url, alias automatically replaced true namespace prefix. hence entering wp:linking or project:linking equivalent entering wikipedia:linking, , wt:linking equivalent wikipedia talk:linking.

an alias cannot used actual namespace in page title. example, cannot create page wp:123; if tried page name instantly converted wikipedia:123. is, however, possible change displayed title on page wikipedia:123 make wp:123 or project:123.

this handy creation of shortcuts. example, shortcut section wp:alias, shown in right-side box. when link clicked, automatically translated wikipedia:alias. @ page redirect wikipedia:namespace#aliases. means shortcut goes directly section anywhere in wikipedia. can entered url in browser address bar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wp:alias .
