[WikiEN-l] WP:(...)

Can I suggest we implement a "cover all" redirect, whereby ALL 
[[Wikipedia:Some stuff here]] kind of links can alternatively be 
written [[WP:Some stuff here]]?

Not all "Wikipedia:(...)" pages have "own" their redirects (meaning 
redirects such as WP:SB), but it still seems like a good idea to ALWAYS 
allow the "Wikipedia:" bit to be abbreviated as "WP:" -- so that if I'm 
writing e.g. [[WP:Dispute resolution]], this would automatically 
redirect/be expanded to [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]]. Again, I'm 
asking whether we can do the WP: to Wikipedia: redirecting/expanding 
stuff on a GENERIC basis. (I know it /could/ be done on an individual 
article basis, but that's not my point.

It would help, be really convenient and it would not get in the way of 
anything. Pages can still have actual own redirects such as [[WP:SB]].

Thanks and regards,
Jens Ropers
