The Meat

2 main ways to link in wiki is:

• Internal: (back into the wiki itself). It helps if the page you are linking to exists.
  • Example: [[Sandbox]] produces Sandbox or [[Sandbox|This fnord links to Sandbox]] produces This fnord links to Sandbox
• External: Format is [http://url.com/fnord LinkNameWhitSpaceOptional]
  • Example: [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia..the mother of all wikis] produces Wikipedia..the mother of all wikis

how to link:

Quick Legend: 
external link = blue  (Wikipedia:Sandbox)
internal link = green (Sandbox)
broken*  link = red   (A fake sandbox) (*or 'wanted link',it means YOU should create it;))

• internal: [[Fnord]] = Fnord
• internal labeled: [[Fnord|lick here]] = lick here
• interwiki: [[Wikipedia:Fnord]] = Wikipedia:Fnord
• interwiki labeled: [[Wikipedia:Fnord|touch me]] = touch me
• external: [http://seti23.org] = [1]
• external labeled: [http://seti23.org seti23] = seti23

Notice that external links have only one bracket, while wiki links have double brackets.

Interwiki linking includes search engine links like [[Google:Fnord]] = Google:Fnord and you can use every other alias you find in the Intermap.
