To search a specific namespace, include the prefix in searches

To search for a topic in a specific namespace, precede the topic with that namespace's prefix, followed by a colon. If the topic has a page with that name, pressing Enter will take you right to it. Otherwise, a list of relevant search results will appear.

For example, one way to get a listing of articles on ancient Greece is to type Category:Ancient Greece in the search box. To go to the portal for the Ancient Greeks, you would type: Portal:Ancient Greece.

The namespace prefixes are: Category:, Portal:, File:, User:, Talk:, Wikipedia:, Help:, Book:, Draft:, and Template:.

You can also search in sister projects by using the full name of the sister project, or its abbreviation (e.g.- Wiktionary: or wikt:).

Time-saving links: the "pipe trick"

Are you tired of having to type long links to targets, and then having to write out most of the link again to hide the namespace? Simply put a pipe ( "|" ) at the end of the link, like so: [[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|]], which turns Wikipedia:Tip of the day into Tip of the day. This trick also works with parentheses – [[colon (punctuation)|]] becomes colon, and comma – [[San Francisco, California|]] becomes San Francisco.
