The WP search protocol described in this page – an easy method to navigate the labyrinthine behind-the-scenes of Wikipedia – is something you likely would have figured out yourself sooner or later. Click here if you want to skip the introductory blather below. In fact, everything on this page, can be summarized in one sentence, and if it's enough for your understanding, you may not need to read anything further:
By merely typing into the search box, "
WP:
" (an easier-to-type alias of "Wikipedia:
"), followed by the title/name or phrase of just about anything you see mentioned by regular editors, or come across in Wikipedia's interface, you can probably find a targeted, behind-the-scenes information/help page or how-to guide providing relevant information on that topic. (That's it!)
