So, in terms of wikimarkup, you could use
something like [[quote:Main
Page]] to link to Wikiquote's main page from a Wikipedia or
Wiktionary? What about [[books:Main Page]] or [[source:Main Page]]?
The current interwiki link prefixes are "w" for wikipedia, "wikt" for
wiktionary and "wikiquote" for wikiquote. I was intending on using the
literal names "wikibooks" and "wikisource", since those prefixes were
already valid interwiki links. When I set up the multi-language
wiktionaries, there were subtle differences between the "wiktionary"
link which I left as is for backwards compatibility, and the new
"wikt" link. People found these differences confusing when they
encountered them, which is why I avoided it this time. However I can
see the advantage of having short names, and perhaps the problems
could be avoided with better documentation, or maybe a slight break in
backwards compatibility to produce a more intuitive result.
My own preferences have always been "wp" for Wikipedia; "wd" for
Wiktionary (though I suppose "wt" would do), "wq" for Wikiquote,
"ws"
for Wikisource, "wb" for Wikibooks, and "wm" for the 9/11 project.
These are all two letter "w" codes which should be easy to remember. I
haven't heard any clamour for additional projects. The "w" codes would
not conflict with any ISO-639-1 language codes where only "wa" and
"wo"
are used.
