This article shows you how interlink your pages.

Symbols

The link symbols are the square bracket: [ ]
To link to articles, use the double square brackets: [[ ]].
For URLs, single brackets are used: [ ]
The pipe symbol ( | ) is the separator between the page name and the text to display for internal links.


A link in external link style can be of the forms:

  • target: http://meta.wikimedia.org/ is rendered as http://meta.wikimedia.org/
  • [ target label ], with a blank space in between: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/ wikimedia] which gives wikimedia
  • [ target ] - these are automatically labelled with serial numbers 1, 2, 3, ...: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/] gives [1]

The target is a URL which can start with "http://" or "ftp://";

"file://" does not work by default. If enabled it only works in MSIE. To enable it, add a $wgUrlProtocols entry to LocalSettings.php; see the $wgUrlProtocols in DefaultSettings.php for example.

How to create hyperlinks

You can use the Internal Link button from the Edit Toolbar to insert a link on the page.
To manualy create a link, enclose the URL within square brackets ( [[ ]] ).
  • To link to a page on the wiki, use "[[Page_Name]] "
  • Use " [URL Text to display]" for external links.


Linking to a page

Based on a URL

[http://location/url Text to display]
http://WikiURL/Category:Page_name
http://WikiURL/Page_name
WikiURL on this site is {{SERVER}}/Joomla/components/com_joomlawiki/index.php/

See more on wikipedia.

Linking to a heading on a page

  
http://WikiURL/Category:Page_name#heading

Within this wiki

[[Namespace:Article]]
[[Target page#Target section|display text]] 
{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Page_name#Section}}
[[Namespace:Article#heading|display text]]

On the same page

The variables construct that refer to the page is {{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}.
The # pound sign is the section tag. #On the same page would link to this section when you insert it on this page.

[[#Section_title]]

The fully qualified path is

{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}#Section_title

Liking to a special page

Special pages can be opened with {{Special:PageName}}.



Linking to a category

Place a colon before the keyword Category

 [[:Category:Category_name]]
 [[:Category:Category_name|Display text]]
