If it takes you to the appropriate page, then you can use that syntax in a link. If it just creates a search error, then you have to use the '''w:c:wikiname:articlename''' syntax. | To test whether the wiki is big enough to have its own prefix, enter '''wikiname:articlename''' in our search box on the top left of this page.
