Linking

See also: mediawikiwiki:Help:Links

Piped link

A piped link is an internal or interwiki link where the link target and link label are both specified.

Internal

Internal (or intrawiki) links check the existence of the target page. If the page doesn't exist, is misspelled or the case is incorrect the link turns red.

Syntax: [[<namespace>:<page name>#<anchor>|<label>]]

Namespace
The namespace of the page, separated from the Page name by a colon(:). Default is the main namespace. Options: User, Template, etc. Namespace is NOT case sensitive.
Page name
The name of the page[2]. Page name is case sensitive with the exception of the first letter.
Anchor
To an ID somewhere inside a page. Anchor must be preceded by a #. Headings have an automatic ID identical to the header name. ID can be added manually by using {{Anchor}} or adding an ID= manually. ID's must be unique. Anchor's are case sensitive.
Label
The text that appears visible. Only needed when different from the linking(target) part. the label is preceded by the pipe(|) symbol

Usage:

Page name only
Using the page name only links to a page[2] in the main namespace with display identical to page name:

[[Venture]] results in Venture
As the first letter is not case sensitive [[venture]] also results in a valid link venture

Link end "trick" (Word-ending links)

Putting text directly connecting to the closing ]] results in that text being added to the displayed text.
[[Venture]]s results in Ventures while the link still goes to Venture.
[[Venture]]abunchofletters results in Ventureabunchofletters while the link still goes to Venture.

For more details see: mediawikiwiki:Help:Links

Namespace and Page name
To go to a page outside the main namespace the namespace needs to be added to the link

[[User:Evon R'al]] gives User:Evon R'al
[[UniWiki:Manual of Style]] gives UniWiki:Manual of Style

Page name and Anchor
Using a Page name and an Anchor gets to a specific location within a page.
Using an Anchor only, leads to a specific location within the page.

[[combat sites#Expeditions]] gives combat sites#Expeditions
The existence of the page is still checked, but the existence of the anchor is not.
Note: If a non existing anchor is used the link goes to the top of the page.
[[combat sites#no exist]] gives combat sites#no exist, leading ot the top of the combat sites page

[[#Signatures]] gives #Signatures leading to the Signatures heading on this page.

Page name and label

[[Venture|Venture]] results in Venture. More then double the amount of typing for the same result as when using a page name only link and more cluttered reading in the source.
But when doing this: Example of a [[Venture|mining]] frigate, we get "Example of a mining frigate" leading to the Venture article.

The use of label is particularly useful when namespaces or anchors are used. To increase readability.
[[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]]'s user page gives Evon R'al's user page
A link to [[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]] gives "A link to Expeditions".

Icon information square.png Note: While not particularly useful the link end trick will work.

Pipe trick:

The pipe trick uses the pipe character ("|") to save typing the label of a piped link for several kinds of wiki links. This can avoid potentially making an error while typing the label.
The basic rule when the pipe trick is used is that an (initial) namespace prefix, a final part beginning with a comma, or a final parenthesis is suppressed in the rendering of the link.
The expansion of the text happens when saving. The expansion is also visible when previewing the edit making it possible to check if it gives the desired result.

Example's:

Typing [[User:Evon R'al|]] will produce [[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]].
[[Guardian's Gala (2020)|]] gives [[Guardian's Gala (2020)|Guardian's Gala]]

For more details see wikipedia:Help:Pipe trick and metawikipedia:Help:Piped link

Special cases
File namespace

[[File:Helpicon.png]] gives Helpicon.png the file embedded at the location of the link.
To get a link to the file page the namespace needs to be preceded by a colon (:)
[[:File:Helpicon.png]] gives File:Helpicon.png a link to the file page.
[[:File:Evon R'al.jpg]] gives File:Evon R'al.jpg
A label can be used like [[:File:Evon R'al.jpg|Evon R'al]] to change the presentation: The file page of Evon R'al's portrait.
For parameters to influence size and/or placement of a file see Mediawikiwiki:Help:Images

Media namespace
Is a virtual namespace which gives a direct link to a file.

[[Media:Evon R'al.jpg]] gives Media:Evon R'al.jpg (follow the link to see the difference)
A label can be used: [[Media:Evon R'al.jpg|portrait]] to get Evon R'al's portrait.

Category namespace

[[Category:Pilots]] gives a link to the Category category and the Pilots category in a separate box at the bottom of the page.
To get a link to the Pilots category in the text use [[:Category:Pilots]] which gives Category:Pilots

Interwiki

Interwiki links are internal-style links to other websites using an "interwiki prefix". For a list of valid interwiki prefixes see Special:interwiki.

Interwiki links are made by using the interwiki prefix as the first parameter in an internal link.

A intrawiki link to MediaWiki's help page about links looks like [[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links]] which gives Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links

The link end and pipe tricks described at internal links work for interwiki links just as-well.

External

External links are rendered different from internal and interwiki links. On the UNI Wiki the links have a marker at the end. The exact marker depends on if the link is HTTP of HTTPS.

The most basic form for an external link is to just put in the raw link, like https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=User:Evon_R%27al which produces https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=User:Evon_R%27al. While it works as a link it does not look particularly nice.

More control over the link can be reached by using single square braces.
Syntax: [URL label]

URL
the full URL of the link
label
the text visible in the page (optional)

The wiki parser uses the first space it encounters as the divider between the URL and the label.

  • Without using a label [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=User:Evon_R%27al] produces [1]. The wiki parser automatically adds a number as the label.
  • Using a label [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=User:Evon_R%27al Evon R'al's user page] produces Evon R'al's user page.
  • Finally the external link rendering can be suppressed by using the CSS class plainlinks making the link look like an internal one. <span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=User:Evon_R%27al Evon R'al's user page]</span> produces Evon R'al's user page

Some possible logo's
