External links

  • Link with no text (the code needed and an example):
[http://example.com/]

[1]
  • Link containing text:
[http://example.com/ The guide to adding a link example.com website] 
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 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:

Introduction

  • Links 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!"
