It was created by jimmy wales and larry sanger on 15 january 2001, as wikipedia's first edition. A shorter form, called a (relative) url, is used when a computer could correctly fill in the full (absolute) url from context For example, of /wiki/url only works for a link on wikipedia to this page on wikipedia. By replacing en with the code for another language, you can reach the main page of the wikipedia in that language, if it exists For example, replacing mr in place of en will take you to the main page of marathi wikipedia.
