Help:Linking

Links (sometimes called hyperlinks) are all over the web. You probably followed one to find this page.

To add a link to another wiki page, type, then the page name, then. Main Page Main Page

If you want to link to the page but don't want to type in the exact name of the page, add a  between the page name and the , and then write what you want the text to be. The discussion page The discussion page

To link to a page on Wikipedia, add  to your page name. Half-Life 2 on Wikipedia Half-Life 2 on Wikipedia

There are other websites you can link to as well. See here for a list.

To link to somewhere outside of the wiki, type, then the URL, followed by a space, the text you want to describe the link, and then. If the link is inside a template and the URL has an  sign in it, you'll have to use Template:= with it. External link to Google External link to Google

You can also just directly paste in a URL, but it doesn't look as nice

https://www.google.com/

A URL pointing to an image will display that image on a page. It won't have the best formatting however. Exercise caution when doing this and note that images from another website may change or disappear at any time.

Redirects
A redirect page is a page that automatically forwards a user to another. They are created like this: A redirect line must be the only content on a page in order for it to work correctly, though categories are still allowed. Redirects will show up in italics on a category page.

Red (broken) links
It's O.K. to link to a non-existent page! We would prefer that you then created that page, if you know about it. What we don't want is a page that's just "todo: make this page".

If you've created a page and pre-existing links to it still show as red, add  to the end of the URLs to update their link colors. You can also do this by pressing the Edit button on the pages and saving them without changing anything.

Links that link to their own pages (excluding ones redirecting to other sections) will appear to be bold.
