Help:Link: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:09, 25 February 2011

There are three types of links that are created in different ways.

Internal Links

Internal links lead to other pages on Pikmin Fanon. For example, Main Page is a link to this wiki's main page, and is created with [[Main Page]]. Place two square brackets around a page name to turn it into a link.

To create an internal link with a description other than the page's name, include the link name after the page title after a pipe. eg. [[Main Page|Go to the main page]]

Interwiki Links

Interwiki links lead to pages on other wikis, such as Pikipedia or Wikipedia. To link to one of these pages, place an interwiki prefix before the page title. A list of allowed interwiki prefixes can be seen at Special:Interwiki.

External Links

External links lead to anywhere else. They can either be created by placing a URL directly in a page's text, or by placing a URL followed by a title sourounded by single square brackets.

Examples

Type	To Get
`[[Main Page]]`	Main Page
`[[Main Page\|The main page]]`	The main page
