Editing Help:Wiki Editing Syntax Guide (section)

===Internal===

To write an internal link, use double brackets, like so:

 <nowiki>[[Article Name]]</nowiki>

For, example, <nowiki>[[Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide]]</nowiki> creates this: [[Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide]]. Notice that even though the URL of the article contains underscores, your link doesn't have to (it will work with underscores, but not look as nice). By the same token, special characters do not need to use their 

To make a link use a text other than the article's name, use the vertical bar symbol, |. For example, <nowiki>[[Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide|Wiki Editing Style Guide]]</nowiki> makes this: [[Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide|Wiki Editing Style Guide]].

If you want to link to a specific section of an article, use the pound sign, #. <nowiki>[[Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide#Internal|Internal Links]]</nowiki> makes this link: [[Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide#Internal|Internal Links]]. Note that the part after the pound sign is identical to the [[Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide|Header]] of the section you are linking to.

[[Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide#Creating a New Category|Categories]] are special pages on the Wiki, and they get a somewhat special formatting - you put a colon, :, before their name, like so:

 <nowiki>[[:Category: Category's Name]]</nowiki>

For example, <nowiki>[[:Category: Getting Started|Getting Started]]</nowiki> gives us this link: [[:Category: Getting Started|Getting Started]]. The vertical bar and the pound symbol both work for categories as well as regular articles.

If your link appears in all caps and red, like [[broken link|this]], that means you are pointing to a page that does not exist. This can be a useful way to create a page, since you can click on the link and create the page, and it's also useful for seeing that you've made a typo in a link.

This is also why your username will appear red and in all caps when you first sign up for the Wiki. Write something in your User Page to fix it. Adding yourself to [[:Category: User Categories|User Lists]] is a great way to start, and solve the weird names.
