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.
Some Examples of FreeLinking
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
