NYWiki:Help:Link

Here's how to add links:

Internal
To add a link to an internal page (in the wiki), use these link styles:
 * For an article page: This one normal page
 * For an page in another namespace: Namespace:Page name

However, links to images and categories (without using the image on the page, or adding the page to the category) must be linked like this: Image:Image name or Category:Category name

External
To link to a common external page, like the fanstuff wiki or the Hometar Runner website, use a namespace-style link with one of the special prefixes. To link externally (outside the wiki), use one bracket pair instead of two, as well as an absolute path: To link to someone's email, use the mailto: prefix: [mailto:joe_person@email.com]

Appearances
To change the appearance of an internal or familiar link, use the vertical line symbol: This neat page To change the appearance of an external link or an email link, insert a space after the link: A neat site

Link colors

 * If you see a deep blue link, it means it's a link within this wiki.
 * If you see a light blue link, it means it's an interwiki link.
 * If you see a red link, it means it's not a real wiki page, or it's not a correctly typed link.

Link symbols
Figuring out what the symbols next to some links mean. If you are using Internet Explorer, you may not be able to see the following symbols.
 * If you see a light blue link with an arrow next to it, it means it's an external link.
 * If you see a [mailto:joe_person@email.com light blue] link with an envelope next to it, it means it's a link to someone's email address.
 * If you see a light blue link with a chat sign next to it, it means it's a link to an irc chat.
 * If you see a light blue link with a lock sign next to it, it means it's a link to a SHTML ( https://... ) website.
