Adding Links

Adding Links to Other Pages and Using URLs

You can link a page to another page within the wiki by enclosing the name of the page to which you want to link in double square brackets ([ and ] but doubled).

For example if you wish to make a link to the page on, say, Andy McIntosh type [[Andy McIntosh]] and it will appear as Andy McIntosh after you have finished editing the page and saved it.

If you then click onto Andy McIntosh it will take you to the page in this Wiki on him.

To link to a web page outside the wiki, you can simply put the URL where you want the link to appear, e.g.

http://www.talkorigins.org

NOTE: You must use the http:// bit in front of the rest of the URL.


More links Part 1

If you want to link off site & want to tidy up the link by using some text in its place then use the general rule

Within the framework: [[ | ]]

[[the Link details go on the Left starting http:// | text on right]]

The vertical divider bar is printed by using shift \

To stop the link taking the viewer off site, place %newwin% in front of the link causing it to open in a new window. Do not forget to use 2 w’s.

Hence: %newwin%[[link|text]]
