External links
Link with no text (the code needed and an example):
[http://example.com/] [1]
Link containing text: The guide to adding a link example.com website</nowiki>
The guide to adding a link
After pasting your link, you would then hit the spacebar once and then write the title of the link.
"The [[Adding a link]][http://example.com/ The guide to adding a link website]". "The [[The guide to adding a link]] [http://example.com/ The guide to adding a link website]".
Internal links
Linking to an internal page (notice the double brackets as opposed to the single brackets in the external link examples?):
[[Introduction]]
now looks like this:
Link containing text different from the title page you are referencing (example: Maybe you don't want to say "Introduction" as it does not read well, but you DO want it to link to the Introduction page):
"Welcome to our Freecycle wiki page where you can learn all about why we are here. Let me [[Introduction|introduce]] myself, who we are and what we do!"
Your page will look like this when completed with the proper wiki lingo; the brackets AND the bar *|*. Notice this bar is NOT the capital letter "I" or lowercase "l". The bar is normally found above the *\* bar.
"Welcome to our Freecycle wiki page where you can learn all about why we are here. Let me introduce myself, who we are and what we do!"
