* Use piping to add italics or quotation marks to part of an article name; for instance, [[Harvey (film)|''Harvey'' (film)]], [[USS Adder (SS-3)|USS ''Adder'' (SS-3)]], [[Route 66 (song)|"Route 66" (song)]], [[Saturnalia (dinosaur)|''Saturnalia'' (dinosaur)]], [[Hush (Buffy episode)|"Hush" (''Buffy'' episode)]], [[Neo (The Matrix)|Neo (''The Matrix'')]]. The templates {{tl|fti}} and {{tl|ftq}} may be used to create properly formatted links. These should be [[WP:Substitution|substituted]], since templates are discouraged on disambiguation pages (see {{section link||Images and templates}} below).
* Use piping to add italics or quotation marks to part of an article name; for instance, [[Wikipedia:Harvey (film)|''Harvey'' (film)]], [[Wikipedia:USS Adder (SS-3)|USS ''Adder'' (SS-3)]], [[Wikipedia:Route 66 (song)|"Route 66" (song)]], [[Wikipedia:Saturnalia (dinosaur)|''Saturnalia'' (dinosaur)]], [[Wikipedia:Hush (Buffy episode)|"Hush" (''Buffy'' episode)]], [[Wikipedia:Neo (The Matrix)|Neo (''The Matrix'')]].
** [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Title templates]] for song, album and film title links
* Similarly, use piping if the entry's article title differs from how it should actually be rendered, due to [[Wikipedia:Template:Correct title|technical limitations]]; for instance, ''[[Wikipedia:The Singles 86–98|The Singles 86>98]]'' or [[Wikipedia:Softimage XSI|Softimage|XSI]].
** [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships/Tools]] for ship and ship classes links
* Similarly, use piping if the entry's article title differs from how it should actually be rendered, due to [[Template:Correct title|technical limitations in Wikipedia]]; for instance, ''[[The Singles 86–98|The Singles 86>98]]'' or [[Softimage XSI|Softimage|XSI]].
* When the link is part of the description, rather than the actual entry name, piping can be used more freely. However, the text of the link should still be very similar to the title of the target article, to avoid confusing the reader. For example:

* Piping may be used ''when the link is in the description'' (see {{section link||Items appearing within other articles}}) for linking to a section or [[Help:Section#Section linking|anchor point]] rather than an entire article. For example, on [[E (disambiguation)]], the piped [[ESRB#Ratings|ESRB]] (<code><nowiki>[[ESRB#Ratings|ESRB]]</nowiki></code>) is preferable to simply linking to the entire article [[ESRB]]. Piping is commonly used to link to the track listing section of an album article. The text of the link should not be the title of a different article, and should not surprise the reader. For example:
