Definition

A WikiLink is a clickable hyper-link from one page on a wiki to another. Here at AboutUs, simply place [[ before the name of the page to link to and ]] after that text and you'll have a link. To learn how to link to other wikis, take a look at our InterWiki table, which allows direct links to 140+ wikis and websites using a similar link technique. This [[AboutUs.org]]

gives you this --> AboutUs.org

Special WikiLinks

make the navigation more attractive for active and passive users of wikis:

BiLinks

To help users not getting LostInHyperspace we may use immediate BiLinks, which allow navigation in both ways. Wikis make setup of such qualified links easy, wheras Read-only pages suggest being bilinked by SocialAnnotation-systems such as DiiGo.com or TrailFire.com.

Mediated BiLinks

A MediatedBiLink creates a bidirectional connection between two pages, where at least one page is a ReadOnly page. An example is given below in the BiLinks footer of this page.

InterWikiLinks

To interface external wiki-pages, we can can use WikiPrefixes, as described on InterWiki. For the convenience of users and page-authors, it is helpful to have them connected by BiLinks.

Google enhanced WikiLinks

are links that have an additional google-search entry icon, like this: BiLinks
