==== Space or underscore ====

The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_) in internal links (Need to check for inter wiki links). So <nowiki>[[Relic_and_data_sites]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Relic and data sites]]</nowiki> are equivalent. Eliminating the need to change the underscore version into a piped link for nice readability, providing a "cleaner" source.

==== Piped link ====

A piped link is an internal or [[#interwiki link|interwiki]] link where the link target and link label are both specified. Piped links should be used sparingly, if a wiki redirect is available it should be used instead.

~~==== Space or underscore ====~~

==== Internal link ====

The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_) in internal links (Need to check for inter wiki links). So [[Relic_and_data_sites]] and [[Relic and data sites]] are equivalent. Eliminating the need to change the underscore version into a piped link for nice readability, providing a "cleaner" source.

==== Internal link====

Internal (or intrawiki) 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]].

Line 128:

Interwiki links are made by using the interwiki prefix as the first parameter in an internal link.

A ~~intrawiki~~ link to MediaWiki's help page about links looks like <code><nowiki>[[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links]]</nowiki></code> which gives [[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links]]

A interwiki link to MediaWiki's help page about links looks like <code><nowiki>[[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links]]</nowiki></code> which gives [[Mediawikiwiki:Help:Links]]

The link end and pipe tricks described at internal links work for interwiki links just as-well. And use of a label to change the presentation of a link also works.
