[edit] Internal links

One of the things that makes the internet useful (and potentially more powerful than printed text) is the possibility for extensive cross-linking to other sources of information. These easily-created links allow users to instantly access information related to the text they're reading.

[edit] When to link

If you're trying to decide whether to make a link or not, ask yourself "If I were the reader, would the link be useful to me?"

[edit] How to link

When you want to make a link to another ABRI page (called a wiki link) you have to put it in double square brackets, like this:

[[Tutorial]]

For example, if you want to make a link to, say, the Protocols page, it would be:

[[Protocols]]

If you want to use words other than a page title as the text of the link, you can add an alternative name by adding after the pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards).

For example, if you wanted to make a link to the Protocols page in the context of a sentence, you might write it as such:

To read about ABRI's style guide, [[Protocols|click here]]...

It would appear as:

To read about ABRI's style guide, click here...

but would link to the Protocols page.

[edit] Alternative endings

When you want to use the plural of a page title (or add any other suffix) for your link, you can add the extra letters directly outside the double square brackets.

For example, you would write:
