User:This, that and the other/Local interwiki map

The local interwiki map contains interwiki link prefixes that are relevant only to Wikimedia Foundation projects. This includes chapter wikis and special internal wikis.

This map includes prefixes that are Wikimedia-specific only. General-use interwiki prefixes should be placed at the global interwiki map at MediaWiki.org. For example, the wikimedia: prefix is located in the global map, but the foundation: prefix is placed in this local map, since the general prefix "foundation:" could have a different meaning on non-WMF wikis.

If you wish to propose a new prefix, please do so on the talk page. Remember to specify why the prefix would be useful on a significant number of pages on Wikimedia Foundation projects, yet not useful to non-WMF wikis.

Editing administrators should remember that the prefix (first column) cannot contain spaces ( ), colons (:), ampersands (&), or equal signs (=). They should avoid likely conflict with language names (en:, fr:, etc). The default short prefixes, such as b: and wikt:, do not need to be added here, since they are generated automatically. Unlike the first column suggests, none of the letters in the prefixes are case sensitive.
