==== 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.

The wiki software automatically changes spaces to underscores (_), in the resulting html link, in internal and inter wiki links. So <nowiki>[[Relic_and_data_sites]]</nowiki> ([[Relic_and_data_sites]]) and <nowiki>[[Relic and data sites]]</nowiki> ([[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. The use of spaces is preferred.

==== Link end trick ====

==== 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 [[red link|red]].

Internal (and 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 [[red link|red]].

'''Syntax:''' <code><nowiki>[[<namespace>:<page name>#<anchor>|<label>]]</nowiki></code>

Line 133:

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.

The [[#link end trick|link end trick]] and the pipe trick, 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.
