Linking to the related sites
If you want to link to an Encyclopedia article (say to provide information beyond a definition of a word), link to its Wikipedia entry (and if Wikipedia doesn't have it yet, do everyone a favor and add it--even if it's just a stub. Other Wikipedians will help flesh it out).

Instead of the whole URL, it's just like a Wiktionary link, but with a prefix. For example, house will link to the Wikipedia article for "house". In your entry it will appear like "house"--you can hide wiktionary: using the "pipe trick" from the previous page, so that with the pipe it looks like house.

The other projects have similar shortcuts:
 * To link to Wikiquote, use the prefix q:, such as Abraham Lincoln, which will appear as Abraham Lincoln
 * To link to Wikibooks, use the prefix b:, such as German, which will appear as German
 * To link to Wikinews, use the prefix n:, such as Google translates Gmail to 12 languages, asks for volunteers to target 144 more, which will appear as Google translates Gmail to 12 languages, asks for volunteers to target 144 more
 * To link to Wikisource, use the prefix s:, such as The Lord's Prayer, which will appear as The Lord's Prayer
