== External links == To add an external link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in single square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page, with an arrow icon after it to show that it was coded with single bracket external link syntax, and thus may lead to another site. {| class="wikitable" !style="width:15%"|Description !style="width:45%"|You type !style="width:40%"|You get |- |External link |<tt><nowiki>http://mediawiki.org</nowiki></tt> |http://mediawiki.org |- |External link with different label |<tt><nowiki>[http://mediawiki.org MediaWiki]</nowiki></tt> |[http://mediawiki.org MediaWiki] |- |Numbered external link |<tt><nowiki>[http://mediawiki.org]</nowiki></tt> |[http://mediawiki.org] |- |External links with file icons |<tt><nowiki> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.avi video] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ogg sound] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pdf document] </nowiki></tt> <small>See [[#External link icons]] for currently supported icons and extensions.</small> | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.avi video]<br/> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ogg sound]<br/> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pdf document]<br/> |- |External link to the same host |<tt><nowiki>http://{{SERVERNAME}}/pagename</nowiki></tt> |http://{{SERVERNAME}}/pagename |- |External link to other host passing the pagename |<tt><nowiki>http://google.com/search?q={{PAGENAMEE}}</nowiki></tt><br /> See also: [[Help:Magic_words#URL_encoded_page_names | URL encoded page names]], [[Manual:PAGENAMEE encoding|PAGENAMEE encoding]] |http://google.com/search?q={{PAGENAMEE}} |- |Mailto link |<tt><nowiki>[mailto:info@example.org email me]</nowiki></tt> |[mailto:info@example.org email me] |- |Mailto named with subject line and body |<tt><nowiki>[mailto:info@example.org?Subject=URL%20Encoded%20Subject&body=Body%20Text info]</nowiki></tt> |[mailto:info@example.org?Subject=URL%20Encoded%20Subject&body=Body%20Text info] |} === External links to internal pages === To add a link to a page on the same wiki using [[w:URI scheme | URL query parameters]], you may need to use external link syntax. {| border="1" class="wikitable" !Description !You type !You get |- |External link to the current page's edit page |<pre>[http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page]</pre> |[http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page] |- |External link to the current page's edit page using the [[Help:Magic_words#URL_data | fullurl parser function]] |<pre>[{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} Edit this page]</pre> See also [[Help:Magic_words#URL_data]] and [[#External links]] |[{{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} Edit this page] |- |External link to the current page's edit page, and styled to look like an internal link |<pre><span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page]</span></pre> The [[Plainlinks | plainlinks class]] can be used in cases where you want an external link to look like an internal one, by suppressing the icon that normally appears after it. |<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page]</span> |} === External link icons === {| class="wikitable" !
