Linking is one of the most powerful aspects of a wiki, so it is important that it is understood well. First you must realise there is a difference between intra-wiki links (links to other articles on this wiki) and external links (links to external websites/pages).

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.

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]].

Hey there! Thanks so much for helping contribute to the UniWiki! I see you've been hard at work on [[3rd Party Tools]]. When it comes to major revisions to layout and content, that kind of work is best undertaken within the confines of a sandbox. You can create one pretty easily: either type the name of the page you want to create into the search bar, or follow a red link, like this: [[User:Abulle/Sandbox]]. Once you've created a sandbox, you can copy the content of an entire page into it, make your changes there until you're happy with it, then use the Move function to replace the page when it's ready to be deployed. Don't forget that there is also the "Show preview" button under the editor, which you can use to verify that your edits actually produce the change you were going for. A lot of the edits to [[3rd Party Tools]] seemed like errors that didn't produce an intended result; the preview function can help with that. Finally, all of the edits made to that page were marked as "minor". I suspect this is because you have the "Mark all edits minor by default" option selected in your User Preferences. It definitely looks like you're interested in making larger contributions to the wiki, so you'll want to make sure that your edits are categorized accurately. I'm going to rollback your changes to [[3rd Party Tools]]; it's not currently in a presentable state compared to where it was. I encourage you to perfect your revisions in a sandbox, and then you can roll out the new and improved article! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me or any other Wiki Curator. - [[User:Djavin novienta|Djavin novienta]] ([[User talk:Djavin novienta|talk]]) 13:52, 2 March 2017 (CST)
