Links are a vital part of your pages. They are the main way that people will move around the site.

More on internal links

We saw how to make internal links on Page 3 of this tutorial. But you can also change the appearance of internal links:

To use words other than the article title as the text of the link, you can use a pipe character "|". It is next to the left-shift button on your keyboard.

For example, if you wanted to make a link to "Psychology_Wiki:About", but wanted it to say "Our Vision" you would write:

[[Psychology_Wiki:About|Our Vision]]

It would show as:

Our Vision

You can also add extra letters directly outside the double square brackets to change the link text. This is useful for plurals:

For example, you would write:

Read one of our Personal [[Experience]]s.

It would appear as:

Read one of our Personal Experiences.

How do I link to external sites?

If you want to link to a site outside of Wikia, just type the full URL for the page you want to link to.

http://www.google.com/

It is often better to have the link text show something more useful than the URL. You can do this with single square brackets.

The alternative text goes after the URL, with a space in between (not a pipe this time).

[http://www.google.com/ Google search engine]

will look like this:

Google search engine
