Google search trick to help with suffixes
In Google search, try the following (quote marks included):
- "http://en.wikipedia.org/*%s"
- "http://en.wikipedia.org/ * %s"
where you replace "%s" with the suffix you're interested in. It's imperfect but useful. — ¾-10 20:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
This will find references to those pages on other sites as well, you'd be better off with:
- site:en.wikipedia.org inurl:"wiki/*%s"
- site:en.wikipedia.org inurl:%s (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 /― Qwerfjkltalk 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 youtranscludesubstitute 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--IAmChaos 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. — Qwerfjkltalk 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)
