Free Links
- In wikipedia and other wikis, free links are used in wikitext markup to produce internal links between pages
- In Wikipedia's markup language, you create free links by putting double square brackets around text designating the title of the page you want to link to. Thus,
[[Krafties]]will be rendered as Krafties. Optionally, you can use a vertical bar (|) to customize the link title. For example, typing[[Krafties|Cute Creatures]]will produce Cute Creatures, a link that is displayed as "Cute Creatures" but in fact links to Krafties.
| Description | You write | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Link | [[Krafties]] |
Krafties |
| Rewritten Link | [[Krafties|Cute Creatures]] |
Cute Creatures |
| Category turned into a link and renamed | [[:Category:Krafties|Krafties]] |
Krafties |
| Blending links | [[Aviaa]]s |
Aviaas |
| Linking to a section of a page | [[Combat#Player versus Player (PvP)]] |
Combat#Player versus Player (PvP) |
| Linking to a section of a page and renaming it | [[Combat#Player versus Player (PvP)|PvP Battling]] |
PvP Battling |
| Description | You write | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Automatically hide stuff in parentheses | [[Fire (element)|]] |
Fire |
| Automatically hide namespace | [[Template:MainPage News|]] |
MainPage News |
| Or both | [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)|]] |
Manual of Style |
- You can create a link to a page that doesn't exist yet, which is just fine. It will remind us that that page needs to be created at some point. It will appear in the special pages under "wanted pages"
