Internal links

Every link to another page of this wiki is a good link. Internal links strengthen the connections in between the pages of the wiki making it a good experience browsing. Cross-links and references inside of this wiki making it grow and better.

To link to this page, which has the name Help:Links you simply enclose the title with two square brackets like this:


[[Help:Links]]

You can also make any other text linking to that page, obfuscating the pages name where it doesn't look appropriate. To do that add the pipe symbol | to separate the page you want to link to and the text you want to be displayed like this:


[[Help:Links|Link reference]]

Wikipedia links

Wikipedia can be a good reference in some cases and it is a reliable destination for links from our wiki since it is unlikely that it will shut down any time soon. This is why links to Wikipedia are honoured by the same syntax as internal links.

Links to articles of the english wikipedia can be included like this:


[[wikipedia:Links]]

Google links

To link to a google results page may be a good alternative to linking to a specific website since private servers are probable to shut down or change URL. For convenience you may use the this syntax for the popular Google search engine:

Google:Links

External Links
