{{w}} is a handly little shortcut that equates the following markup:

[[wikipedia:article name]] --> {{w|article name}}

Usage

{{w}} incorporates one kind of pipe trick. As long as the wikipedia article is not disambiguated, then it will automatically get rid of the prepending "wikipedia:". Hence,

{{w|London}} results in London.

However, if the wikipedia title is disambiguated, you must type a little more. For instance,

{{w|London (band)}} renders London (band)
but
{{w|London (band)|London}} renders London
