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] |
