Uhm, no there isn't :-) There is a list of the default ones at
wiki:interwiki - for the ones you use at your wiki I recommend to list
them somewhere in your wiki. OTOH adding a toolbar button for these
shouldn't be too hard either.

Most Wikis I'm aware of just use a handful of easy to remember
shortcuts, so this never were really a problem.
