WikiLinks provide easy linking between pages of the wiki. To create a WikiLink, just put the name of the page to link to in double brackets. For example [[WikiLink]].

If you ever need to write something like [[WikiLink]] without creating a wikilink, just prefix it with a \, like \[[WikiLink]].

There are some special LinkingRules that come into play when linking between SubPages.

WikiLinks are matched with page names in a case-insensitive manner, so you don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise links at the start of a sentence, and so on.

It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the page name as the link text. For example [[foo_bar|SandBox]] links to the SandBox page, but the link will appear like this: foo bar.

To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like [[WikiLink#foo]] .

If the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will be displayed inline on the page.


You can also put an url in a WikiLink, to link to an external page. Email addresses can also be used to generate a mailto link.
