RationalWiki:Help/Links
From RationalWiki
To link to a RationalWiki page use a wikilink with double square brackets:
- [[User:Human]] produces User:Human.
If you want to give the link a different designation use the pipe symbol:
- [[User:Human|speakers]] which will show as speakers.
The 'pipe' symbol is on most keyboards at SHIFT/BACKSLASH. Note: wiki article names are case-sensitive, except for the first letter.
If you want to use a plural or otherwise extended form an article name for your link, just continue the name after the closing brackets.
- [[Fundamentalist]]s produces Fundamentalists, likewise, [[evolution]]ary makes evolutionary.
Pages on Conservapedia and Wikipedia can be entered by including "cp:" or "wp:" before the page name. Pages referred in this manner will be subject to change by the site editors and may not be the page you intend.
- [[wp:evolution]] produces wp:evolution. A link like this can also be piped to chosen text:
- [[wp:evolution|Conservapedia's nightmare]] produces Conservapedia's nightmare
General web pages can be referred by simply including the full address in the text:
Enclosing the web address in single square brackets will reduce it:
- [http://www.secularism.org.uk/] produces [1]
To give a different designation, leave a space at the end of the address and insert the wording required:
- [http://www.secularism.org.uk/ UK secularist organisation] produces UK secularist organisation
