1. Local Wiki Pages


WikiWords

Typical wiki pages are named by removing the spaces between two or more words and starting each word with a capital letter. Just using such a WikiWord links to the page if it exists, otherwise it will be displayed with a question mark link, like SampleUndefinedPage?. The question mark indicates the page doesn't exist yet and is a link to create it.


Freelinks

Links to pages that are not a WikiWord are done by surrounding the text with two pairs of square brackets like [[Sample Free Link]].


Local:

The : prefix is another way to link within the wiki, and may be required for links to subpages of parent pages that are not WikiWords. For example: Local:Help/Macros = Help/Macros


Subpages

See /Subpages


Plurals

You can separate a WikiWord from adjacent text with the special "" (two double-quotes) delimiter. The "" delimiter is not displayed—it is useful for plural forms of page links like WikiWords. In nearly all cases trailing punctuation is ignored, so you can safely make links like http://deoxy.org/, without the trailing comma being part of the link. You can also use [[freelink]]s.

For more control with images use HTML.





4. InterWiki Links


InterWiki links are shortcuts that allow rapid linking to certain pre-defined sites:
