Inter-wiki
Official list of prefixes on meta, generates interwiki.php. Also see per wiki config on Special:Interwiki.

Editing administrators should remember that the prefix (first column) cannot contain spaces, colons , ampersands (&), or equal signs (=). They should avoid likely conflict with languages (en:, fr:, etc). Wikimedia Foundation projects shouldn't be added here, since they are added automatically. Unlike the first column suggests, none of the letters in the prefixes are case sensitive.
