==== Links ==== | |||
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: <nowiki>[[Link topic]]</nowiki> where '''Link topic''' is a page on the wiki. For example, if we wish to link to [[Main Page]] we use <nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>. | |||
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: <nowiki>[[Link topic|link text]]</nowiki>. For example: <nowiki>[[Main Page|Example]]</nowiki> becomes [[Main Page|Example]]. | |||
