=== Linking ===

==== Wiki internal ====

'''Syntax:''' <code><nowiki>[[<Namespace>:<Page name>#<Anchor>|<Display>]]</nowiki></code>

; Namespace : The namespace of the page, separated from the Page name by a colon(:). Default is the main namespace. Options: User, Template, etc. Namespace is NOT case sensitive.

; Page name : The name of the page<ref name="main">In the main namespace called article</ref>. Page name is case sensitive with the exception of the first letter.

; Anchor : To an ID somewhere inside a page. Anchor must be preceded by a #. Headings have an automatic ID identical to the header name. ID can be added manually by using {{T|Anchor}} or adding an <code>ID=</code> manually.ID's must be unique. Anchor's are case sensitive.

; Display : The text that appears visible. Only needed when different from the linking part. Display is preceded by the pipe(|) symbol

Internal wiki links check the existence of the target page. If the page doesn't exist, is misspelled or the case is incorrect the link turns [[redlink|red]].

'''Usage:'''

; Page name only : Using the page name only links to a page<ref name="main" /> in the main namespace with display identical to page name:

<nowiki>[[Venture]]</nowiki> results in [[Venture]]

As the first letter is not case sensitive <nowiki>[[venture]]</nowiki> also results in a valid link [[venture]]

; Link end "trick". : Putting text directly connecting to the closing ]] results in that text being added to the displayed text.

<nowiki>[[Venture]]s</nowiki> results in [[Venture]]s while the link still goes to Venture.

<nowiki>[[Venture]]abunchofletters</nowiki> results in [[Venture]]abunchofletters while the link still goes to Venture.

; Namespace and Page name

: To go to a page outside the main namespace the namespace needs to be added to the link

<nowiki>[[User:Evon R'al]]</nowiki> gives [[User:Evon R'al]]

<nowiki>[[UniWiki:Manual of Style]]</nowiki> gives [[UniWiki:Manual of Style]]

; Page name and Anchor : Using a Page name and an Anchor gets to a specific location within a page.

: Using an Anchor only, leads to a specific location within the page.

<nowiki>[[combat sites#Expeditions]]</nowiki> gives [[combat sites#Expeditions]]

The existence of the page is still checked, but the existence of the anchor is not.

Note: If a non existing anchor is used the link goes to the top of the page.

<nowiki>[[combat sites#no exist]]</nowiki> gives [[combat sites#no exist]], leading ot the top of the combat sites page

<nowiki>[[#Signatures]]</nowiki> gives [[#Signatures]] leading to the Signatures heading on this page.

; Page name and display

<nowiki>[[Venture|Venture]]</nowiki> results in [[Venture|Venture]]. More then double the amount of typing for the same result as when using a page name only link and more cluttered reading in the source.

But when doing this: Example of an <nowiki>[[Venture|mining]]</nowiki> frigate, we get Example of a [[Venture|mining]] frigate.

The use of display is particularly useful when namespaces or anchors are used. To increase readability.

<nowiki>[[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]]</nowiki>'s user page gives [[User:Evon R'al|Evon R'al]]'s user page

A link to <nowiki>[[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]]</nowiki> gives A link to [[combat sites#Expeditions|Expeditions]]

===== Special cases =====

; File namespace

<nowiki>[[File:Helpicon.png]]</nowiki> gives [[File:Helpicon.png]] the file embedded at the location of the link.

To get a link to the file page the namespace needs to be preceded by a colon (:)

<nowiki>[[:File:Helpicon.png]]</nowiki> gives [[:File:Helpicon.png]] a link to the file page.

<nowiki[[:File:Evon R'al.jpg]]</nowiki> gives [[:File:Evon R'al.jpg]]

Display can be used like <nowiki>[[:File:Evon R'al.jpg|Evon R'al]]</nowiki> to change the presentation: The file page of [[:File:Evon R'al.jpg|Evon R'al]]'s portrait.

For parameters to influence size and placement of a file see [[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Images]]

; Media namespace : Is a virtual namespace which gives a direct link to a file.

<nowiki>[[Media:Evon R'al.jpg]]</nowiki> gives [[Media:Evon R'al.jpg]]

Display can be used: <nowiki>[[Media:Evon R'al.jpg|portrait]]</nowiki> to get Evon R'al's [[Media:Evon R'al.jpg|portrait]].

; Category namespace

<nowiki>[[Category:Pilots]]</nowiki> gives a link to the Category category and the pilots category in a separate box at the bottom of the page.

To get a link to the Pilots category in the text use <nowiki>[[:Category:Pilots]]</nowiki> which gives [[:Category:Pilots]]
