Help:Links

Wikicars, a place to share your automotive knowledge
Jump to navigationJump to search

Links can be used on Wikicars to, as their name suggests, link to other pages. There are both external (outside of wiki) and internal (inside wiki) links.

Internal Links

To do an internal link, you simply put the name of the page inside of two pairs of brackets. For example, to link to the article about the Ford Falcon, you do the following: [[Ford Falcon]], and you get: Ford Falcon.

To change the appearance of an internal link, just put a pipe (|) after the link, and then use HTML or wiki formatting to alter to your preference. Example:
Before: [[Main Page]] -- Main Page
After: [[Main Page|Our homepage]] -- Our homepage

External Links

To make an external link, you copy the address of the web page you want to make a link to, and put it inside one pair of brackets. Example: [http://wikicars.org/en/Main_Page] makes [1], which sends you to the main page of Wikicars.

For external links, no divider is necessary, simply a space after the link, and then the desired HTML, etc. Example: [http://ferrari.com Official website].

Wikipedia

If you want to make a link to a page on Wikipedia, you do [[wikipedia:Ferrari]]. This will appear as wikipedia:Ferrari.

To customize Wikipedia links, use the same process as the one for internal links; putting a pipe (|) after the link, and then how you want the link to appear afterwards.
