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, add two half-square brackets to both sides, second, type the page's name then add an octothorp after it. And after the octothorp, add the section's title so that it may look like this:
Example | Result |
---|---|
[[Pikmin: Wide World#Plot]]
|
Pikmin: Wide World#Plot |
Note that you don't always need to capitalize the first letter of a link for it to work like with "light", which should be lowercase except when it's the first word in a sentence. As long as light works just as well as Light, you don't have to use it like this: [[Light|light]]
.
You can also put characters like "s" after links to change them without having to have the link display as something else. Examples: [[Red Bulborb]]s, [[poison]]ous
results in Red Bulborbs, poisonous.
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] |
