HumbleWiki:Tutorial Linking



Linking articles together is very important. These easily created links allow users to access information related to the article they are reading and greatly add to usability.

Internal links
a link to another page within Humblewiki, created by putting the name of the target article in double square brackets, If the page doesn't exist, the link leads instead to the editing screen (Red links).

If you want to link to an article, but display some other text for the link, you can do so by adding the pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards) followed by the alternative name. Linking to a section of an article work the same.

Please check your links to ensure they point to the correct article.

Categories
You can also put the article in a category with others in a related topic. Just type and put the name of the category between the colon and the brackets. Linking to a category done just as linking to an image described above, by placing semicolon beforehand Category:____

It is very important to put in the correct categories so that other people can easily find your work. The best way to find which categories to put in is to look at pages on similar subjects, and check which categories they use. For example if you write an article about a type of tree, you may look at an article on another type of tree to see which categories could be appropriate.
