The great thing about working on an [[AboutUs]] page is that you can make links to other pages. Making a link is simple. Just put two square brackets around the word(s) you want to link. You may not know that a link exists for the word(s) when you add brackets. You will only find out when you press save or show preview.

It's A Good Thing

The great thing about working on an AboutUs page is that you can make links to other pages. Making a link is simple. Just put two square brackets [[ ]] around the word|s you want to link. You may not know that a link exists for the word|s when you add brackets. You will only find out when you press save or show preview.

This in essence is accidental linking. Whenever you feel a concept should have a page of its own put brackets around it. If the resulting word|s are red you can start creating that page or leave it for someone else to create at a later date. If the word|s are blue then that page already exists and you have accidentally created a link.
