The basic intra-wiki link has the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki></pre> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki. For example, if we wish to link to [[Main Page]] we use <pre><nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki></pre> These topics can include spaces, as the wiki will automatically reformat the text to the correct link. You can also link to pages that do not exist yet such as this [[Intentionally Red Link]], when you feel that subject deserves it's own article. The link will then appear red instead of yellow, and people will hopefully feel encouraged to make the article. | The basic intra-wiki link has the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki></pre> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki.

As you can see, the text inside the double square brackets is both the destination (the page it links to) and the description (the text that shows up as link). In order to change the description you can use the pipe ('|') in the following syntax: <pre><nowiki>[[Link topic|link text]]</nowiki></pre> For example: <pre><nowiki>[[Main Page|Example]]</nowiki></pre> becomes [[Main Page|Example]] | As you can see, the text inside the double square brackets is both the destination (the page it links to) and the description (the text that shows up as link).

In order to make external links, you can use single square brackets like so: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki></pre> If you want to change the description text of your external link, separate the url from the description with a space [http://www.google.com like so]: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.google.com like so]</nowiki></pre> | In order to make external links, you can use single square brackets like so: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki></pre> If you want to change the description text of your external link, separate the url from the description with a space [http://www.google.com like so]: <pre><nowiki>[http://www.google.com like so]</nowiki></pre> | ||
