    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Full_URLs">Full URLs</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      A full URL will point absolutely to one specific page in one specific wiki from any wiki.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" will always navigate to the "Earth" page in "en.wikipedia.org" regardless of whether the current wiki is "en.wikipedia.org", "en.wiktionary.org" or "simple.wikipedia.org"
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Page_name">Page name</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      A short name allows quick lookup of an article within the current wiki.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, if you are in "en.wikipedia.org", typing in just "Earth" will take you to the Earth page inside en.wikipedia.org.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="Shortcut">Shortcut</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      A shortcut is a compromise between the absolute reference of a full URL and the brevity of a page name.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example, "w:Earth" will always take you to "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" from any other wiki. It is only 2 characters longer than "Earth".
    </p>
    <p>
      See <a href="/wiki/App/UI/Address_bar/Shortcuts" id="xolnki_2" title="App/UI/Address bar/Shortcuts">shortcuts</a> for more information.
    </p>
    <h2>
      <span class="mw-headline" id="http_format">http format</span>
    </h2>
    <p>
      An http format url allows for copying and pasting directly from Firefox or other applications.
    </p>
    <p>
      For example:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Right click on any link to wikipedia
      </li>
      <li>
        Select "Copy Link Location"
      </li>
      <li>
        Press Ctrl-V to paste the link into the address bar. This will paste the full url of "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"
      </li>
      <li>
        Press Enter. You will be redirected to "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth"
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Alternatively, instead of Ctrl-V and Enter, you can also middle-click on the URL bar. This will:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Delete all text
      </li>
      <li>
        Paste whatever's on your clipboard into the Address bar
      </li>
      <li>
        Automatically try to open the page
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      On a similar note, you can also copy and paste urls of the format "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/The_Blue_Marble.jpg". This will be converted to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The Blue Marble.jpg
    </p>
    <p>
      Note that http format also works for urls with the format of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earth
