Many topics useful for linking may currently appear only as sections of other UniWiki articles, but are potentially notable enough to become articles on their own. For example, the article {{xt|Eastern Anyshire}} might have a small "History" section, but this does not prevent the article {{xt|History of Eastern Anyshire}} being written eventually. Usually, a [[Wikipedia:WP:redirect|redirect]] page from such a sub-topic to a general topic will exist already; if not, they can be created when the occasion arises. It is bad practice to create links in article text using the format <code><nowiki>[[Article#Section]]</nowiki></code>; navigation then becomes difficult if the section is expanded into a new article. Instead, link using a redirect to the main topic; [[Wikipedia:WP:NOTBROKEN|it costs little]] and makes improvements easier. | Many topics useful for linking may currently appear only as sections of other UniWiki articles, but are potentially notable enough to become articles on their own.

You can link to a category by putting a colon in front. | Wikipedia has categories of articles like {{xt|<code><nowiki>[[Category:Phrases]]</nowiki></code>}}; adding this to an article puts it into that category.
