InterWiki is a facility for creating links to the many wiki sites on the World Wide Web. Users avoid pasting in entire URLs (as they would for regular web pages) and instead use a shorthand similar to links within the same wiki.

When the implementations simply substitute the InterWiki prefix with a full URL prefix, any non-wiki website can also be referred to using the system.
