Help:Link: Difference between revisions

This is one of Pikmin Fanon's help pages and is meant to aid users by improving their ability to positively contribute to the wiki. Expanding pages such as this with additional information is always welcome.

Links are clickable texts that direct you to another page. The following is a tutorial on how to create links.

Internal links

Internal links lead to other pages on Pikmin Fanon. For example, Main Page is a link to the wiki's main page, and is created with two half-square brackets: [[Main Page]].

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]]

Example	Result
`[[Main Page\|Go to the main page]]`	Go to the main page

To create an internal link that directs to a page's section, first, type the page's name then type an octothorp after the page's name. And lastly, add the section's title so that it may look like this:

Example	Result
`[[Pikmin: Wide World#Plot]]`	Pikmin: Wide World#Plot

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.

Interwikis links are also created with two half-square brackets: [[<prefix name>:Main Page]].

Example	Result
`[[pikipedia:Main Page]]`	pikipedia:Main Page
`[[pikipedia:Main Page\|Main page]]`	Main page

That being said, using link templates such as {{w}} and {{c}} for the respective destinations is preferred.

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 surrounded by single half-square brackets.

Example	Result
`http://www.google.com`	http://www.google.com
`[http://www.google.com google]`	google
