Template:Linking: Difference between revisions

Linking to existing Wikipedia pages is done by placing doubled square brackets around the name of the page. Thus, <kbd><nowiki>[[Wikipedia]]</nowiki></kbd> produces [[Wikipedia]]. A useful expansion of this is done by separating what you want ''linked'', from what you want ''displayed'', with a pipe character ("|"), to create a "[[Wikipedia:Piped link|piped link]]". Thus: <kbd><nowiki>[[Wikipedia|encyclopedia]]</nowiki></kbd> produces [[Wikipedia|encyclopedia]], with the displayed text linking to the article, [[Wikipedia]]. You can link to ''internal sections'' of pages in this way: [[Wikipedia#Cultural significance|Wikipedia#name of internal section of that article]]. By contrast, for external links: <kbd><nowiki>http://www.example.org</nowiki></kbd> produces http://www.example.org; <kbd><nowiki>[http://www.example.org]</nowiki></kbd> produces [http://www.example.org]; and <kbd><nowiki>[http://www.example.org example]</nowiki></kbd> produces [http://www.example.org example]. For more information, see [[Help:Link]] and please consider taking a tour through the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]]. Hope this has helped.{{z28}}<!-- Template:Linking --><noinclude>
