Difference between revisions of "WikiLink"

Definition

A WikiLink is a clickable hyper-link from one page on a wiki to another.

To link here at AboutUs, place the title of the page you want to link to in double brackets and save your edit.

For example:

• [[AboutUs.org]] will give you AboutUs.org upon save. (Note: To work properly, links to DomainPages must not include the "www" or "http".)
• [[InterestingHappenings]] produces InterestingHappenings.
• [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] shows up as Recent Changes.

For more details see WikiSyntax and Internal Linking Guide.

BiLinks

Help users to not get LostInHyperspace. By using immediate BiLinks, we enable 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. BiLinks help to cultivate a sense of mutually enhancing the value of source- and target pages and reducing unfair link activity.

Mediated BiLinks

Create bidirectional connections 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 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.

For the convenience of users and page-authors, it is helpful to have them connected by BiLinks.

Google enhanced WikiLinks

Save time for searching the context; these are links that have an additional eyecatching Google-search entry icon, like this:
