==Links== Links are important on wikis to help readers navigate your site. ===Internal links=== You can extensively cross-reference wiki pages using internal links. You can add links to existing titles, and also to titles you think ought to exist in future. To make a link to another page on the same wiki, just put the title in double square brackets. For example, if you want to make a link to, say, the ''Main Page'', it would be: :<tt><nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki></tt> If you want to use words other than the article title as the text of the link, you can add an alternative name by adding it after a pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards). For example, if you wanted to make a link to the [[Main Page]], but wanted it to say "home page" you would write it as such: :<tt>View the <nowiki>[[Main Page|home page]]</nowiki>...</tt> It would appear as: :View the [[Main Page|home page]]... When you want to use the plural of an article title (or add any other suffix) for your link, you can add the extra letters directly outside the double square brackets. For example, you would write: :<tt>Add questions to the wiki for <nowiki>[[quiz]]zes</nowiki>.</tt> It would appear as: :Add questions to the wiki for [[quiz]]zes. (the link will be red if this page does not yet exist) ===Interwiki links=== To link to another wiki, you can use its title followed by a colon and the article name, instead of using the full URL. For example, the Wikipedia Wiki home page is at [[Wikipedia:Main Page]], which can be typed as :<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Main Page]]</nowiki> :rather than as <nowiki>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page</nowiki> This style of link works for any wiki in the interwiki map. See the page at [[Help:Interwiki linking]]. ===External links=== If you want to link to a site outside of your wiki, you may just type the full URL for the page you want to link to. :http://www.google.com/ It is often more useful to make the link display something other than the URL, so use '''one''' square bracket at each end, with the alternative title after the full URL address, separated by a '''space''' (''not'' a pipe). So if you want the link to appear as [http://www.google.com/ Google search engine], just type: :<tt><nowiki>[http://www.google.com/ Google search engine]</nowiki></tt> ===Redirects=== To redirect automatically from one page to another, type <nowiki>#REDIRECT</nowiki> and then put in brackets the name of the page to be redirected to. For example, you could redirect from "Cats" to "Cat". That way, anyone typing either version in the search box will automatically go to "Cat".
