'''WikiIndex: Wikilink''' — one of the fundamentals of the [[:Category:Internet|internet]] or '[[:Category:Web|web]]' is being able to link to other pages or sites on the web. This is especially true for [[wiki]] sites, and these links are generally known as a '[[wikilink]]' (or 'wiki link'). This '''WikiIndex: Wikilink''' page describes how to create these {{tag|Wiki concept|types of links}}. | |||
===Internal links (linking to another page <u>within</u> this wiki)=== | |||
While editing a [[wiki]] page, put double square brackets around the text you wish to become a [[wikilink]]. Example: | |||
;<tt><nowiki>[[Brand New Page]]</nowiki></tt> | |||
will create a new link that will function like this: | will create a new link that will function like this: | ||
:[[Brand New Page]] | :[[Brand New Page]] | ||
If you want to display a different phrase | If you want to display a different phrase <u>instead of the actual page name</u>, you can use a pipe (<tt>|</tt> – next to the left shift key on a Windows keyboard, above the right shift key on an Apple Mac keyboard). The text before the pipe (|) is the actual page name. The text after the pipe is the displayed label for that particular link. For example: | ||
:'''<nowiki>[[Brand New Page| | :'''<tt><nowiki>[[Brand New Page|my article page]]</nowiki></tt>''' | ||
will display like this: | will display like this: | ||
[[Brand New Page| | :[[Brand New Page|my article page]] — hover your mouse pointer over this link, and it will still display 'Brand New Page'. | ||
* If the term that is double | *If the term that is double bracketed exists as an article in the wiki, then the link will show in blue and be immediately functional. | ||
*If the term that is double bracketed is ''not'' an existing page in the wiki, the link is 'dangling', and shows in red. In a typical website, this might be considered a 'broken' or [[:Category:FindDeadURLs|dead link]], but in a wiki, this '[[Proposal:Future linking|future linking]]' is simply an invitation for someone to create that needed article by clicking on the red link. Check the [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]] for a list of '[[red link]]' articles that this wiki needs. | |||
====Section links==== | |||
Large or long web or wiki pages may usually be sub-divided into 'sections' by using section headings. On most wikis, this is done by using two or more <tt>=</tt> at either end of the section heading. If you wish to link to a particular <u>section</u> (rather than the whole page), you can do so by using the hash (<tt>#</tt>). So for example, if you wanted to link to the 'Redirects' section at the foot of this page, you would type: | |||
:'''<tt><nowiki>[[WikiIndex:Wiki Links#Redirects]]</nowiki></tt>''' | |||
which will display: [[WikiIndex:Wiki Links#Redirects]] | |||
This can also be piped to display a different or 'neater' name – such as: | |||
:'''<tt><nowiki>[[WikiIndex:Wiki Links#Redirects|Redirects section on WikiLinks]]</nowiki></tt>''' | |||
displaying: [[WikiIndex:Wiki Links#Redirects|Redirects section on WikiLinks]] | |||
:'''<nowiki>[ | If you wish to use section links on the <u>same</u> page, you can ommit the page name from the link, as in: | ||
:'''<tt><nowiki>[[#Redirects]]</nowiki></tt>''' | |||
===External links (linking to a page on <u>another</u> website)=== | |||
While editing a wiki page, put single square brackets around the full URL (including the <tt>http://</tt>); and the description text you wish to become a link. Example: | |||
;<tt><nowiki>[https://WikiIndex.org Official WikiIndex website]</nowiki></tt> | |||
will create a new link that will function like this: | will create a new link that will function like this: | ||
:[https://WikiIndex.org Official WikiIndex website] — note the 'double arrow' at the end of this; indicating that it is an 'off-site' link. | |||
Section links detailed [[#Section links|above]] for internal [[WikiLinks]] can also work on external link URLs. | |||
===Redirects=== | ===Redirects=== | ||
Sometimes there may be two or more names for the same article | Sometimes there may be two or more names, or similar names for the same article; for example, 'ISOC' and 'Internet Society'. It is the practice here on {{tag|WikiIndex}}, and at most [[wiki]], to '[[Special:ListRedirects|redirect one to another]]', which will automatically open the page of the correct article. | ||
[[ | |||
To create a '''[[redirect]]''', either click on the '''#R''' button above the [[edit box]], or click on <code>#REDIRECT [[]]</code> at the foot of the page, or manually type <tt>#redirect</tt> – followed by a link (within the double-square brackets) to the page to be redirected to in a blank page. Special rules apply to redirects; please read the [[redirect]] article, and try to avoid creating any [[Special:DoubleRedirects|double redirects]], as these do not automatically follow on to the correct page. | |||
Redirects are automatically created when pages are moved using the '[[move]]' tab at the top of the screen for existing pages, unless they are suppressed by a [[sysop]] or above. | |||
===Logo=== | |||
Displaying a [[:Category:WikiLogo|logo]] (or other [[:Category:Images|image]]) on an article uses a [[:Category:Wiki syntax|syntax]] very similar to the above link syntax. See [[WikiProject:Logos]] for details. | |||
