===Links===

There are two kinds of links:

* internal (to another wiki page)
* external (to anything outside this wiki)

====internal links====

So, when you want to make a [[link]] to a page on this wiki:

 <nowiki>[[name of page]]</nowiki>

For example a link to the Main Page looks like:

  <nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>

will result in: [[Main Page]]

<span style="background:yellow">Note: these links are case sensitive.</span>

====external links====

You can write external links in different ways:

Just by pasting a URL:

<nowiki>https://knowledgelandscape.org/</nowiki>: https://knowledgelandscape.org/

Using link text:

<nowiki>[https://knowledgelandscape.org/ NEWWW Project's website]</nowiki>: [https://knowledgelandscape.org/ NEWWW Project's website]

Or as a "footnote"

<nowiki>[https://knowledgelandscape.org/]</nowiki>: [https://knowledgelandscape.org/]

==== red links ====

Significantly, wikis allow links to pages that do not (yet) exist. These are called "[[redlinks]]" (typically they appear in red to differentiate from "blue" normal links). In this was editors can write with links without knowing (or caring) if a given page exists. Redlinks can form a "potential page" or "todo" articles that when created in the future, will already be linked. Non-existent (redlink) Pages do display backlinks even before they are given any content (though they will not appear in [[Special:AllPages]], they can be seen via [[Special:WantedPages]])
