	==Google search trick to help with suffixes==
	In Google search, try the following (quote marks included):
	* <nowiki>"http://en.wikipedia.org/*%s"</nowiki>
	* <nowiki>"http://en.wikipedia.org/ * %s"</nowiki>
	where you replace "%s" with the suffix you're interested in. It's imperfect but useful. ] 20:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

	This will find references to those pages on other sites as well, you'd be better off with:
	* <nowiki>site:en.wikipedia.org inurl:"wiki/*%s"</nowiki>
	* <nowiki>site:en.wikipedia.org inurl:%s</nowiki> (assuming your string isn't present in "en.wikipedia.org/wiki")

Passing parameters in wikilink

Is it possible to pass parameters in a wikilink to the PrefixIndex page as can be done in the transclusion syntax?

I.e like:

{{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/ |hideredirects=1 |stripprefix=1}} If so, what's the proper syntax?

Search with trailing space

I wish to search all articles (and exclude redirects) that start with Dr without the dot after it. I understand that I cannot enclose the search term with quotes. If it was allowed, I only had to enter "Dr " with a space. But giving Dr followed by a space, is not working as the search seems to be removing the trailing space. Giving Dr. with a space after it also is returning results (such as Dr.I) that do not have space after Dr. . Jay 08:00, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

@Jay, You might want to try a regex search e.g. intitle:/Dr / ― Qwerfjkl talk 08:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I forgot to inform that I had reposted this some months later at Help talk:Searching#Search with trailing space and got a response. Jay (talk) 08:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Substing this page?

Is there any way to subst the special page? 🐶 EpicPupper 19:24, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

@EpicPupper: Not the obvious way 1, 2. And the mw:Special:PrefixIndex links back to this enwiki page for documentation, I don't see any docs on the mediawiki site, nor does there exist an mw:Project:Special:PrefixIndex, like there is a en:Project:Special:PrefixIndex. I did figure you tried all that but I'm replying again just to see if anyone else with this on their watchlist has an ideas. Sorry

I'm confused by what you mean - ~~{{Article templates}}'s documentation does it just fine,~~ and your diff seems to be working as expected - what is what you expect to happen when you ~~transclude~~ substitute it, @EpicPupper @IAmChaos? casualdejekyll 22:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

When subst'ing? I would hope to just paste the contents that appeared in the transclusion. Yes transcluding works. Substing doesn't, look at my second diff above. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 23:47, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Oh. Um. Hmm. What a pickle... casualdejekyll 23:49, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Did you ever find a solution for this? Fuzzyketchup (talk) 05:50, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@Fuzzyketchup, I'm fairly sure this is impossible to subst. — Qwerfjkl talk 09:14, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@Fuzzyketchup I find that most use-cases for substitution can be approached in different, more efficent ways :) 🐶 EpicPupper 20:32, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
