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.
