==Inter-Wiki Links==
The WikiMarkup linking crash-course. Even I learned something while writing this up for you guys. [[User:MyraMidnight|MyraMidnight]] ([[User talk:MyraMidnight|talk]])

==Internal Links==
 
 
:In [[Wikipedia:wikipedia|wikipedia]] and other wikis, '''free links''' are used in wikitext markup to produce '''internal links between pages'''
 
:In [[Wikipedia:wikipedia|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, <code><nowiki>[[Krafties]]</nowiki></code> will be rendered as [[Krafties]]. Optionally, you can use a vertical bar (|) to customize the link title. For example, typing <code><nowiki>[[Krafties|Cute Creatures]]</nowiki></code> will produce [[Krafties|Cute Creatures]], a link that is displayed as "<u>Cute Creatures</u>" but in fact links to [[Krafties]].

*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 "[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]"
 
*And yes, you can actually link to the official Wikipedia by slapping on the <code>Wikipedia:</code> namespace on the link (used in the example above).
 
 
 
==External Links==
 
It is quite easy to create links that lead outside of our wiki, using wiki markup.
 
*Just write the name of the link behind the url
