Help:Linking

There are several kinds of links that can be put on Whirled wiki pages.

• For normal wiki links to articles: <nowiki>article name</nowiki> i.e. avatar
  • If you want to link to an article from a word with additional letters: <nowiki>article names</nowiki> i.e. avatars
• For phrases linked to wiki articles: <nowiki>linked phrase</nowiki> i.e. using avatars

• For links to Wikipedia or Wikicities instead of a Whirled wiki link use: <nowiki>Wikipedia:article name</nowiki> name or <nowiki>Wikicities:article name</nowiki> i.e. Wikipedia:Pirate or Wikicities:FAQ
• For phrases linked to Wikipedia or Wikicities: <nowiki>linked phrase</nowiki> name or <nowiki>linked phrase</nowiki> i.e. Real Piracy or What's this wiki thing? (this is currently disabled, but will be fixed soon)

• For phrases linked to URLs: <nowiki>Linked phrase</nowiki> i.e. Whirled Peas
• For URLs without phrases just use the URL without any brackets. i.e. http://www.whirled.com

• For footnotes (the automatically numbered variety), we use a template that does the superscripting. See Template_talk:Fn for instructions.
• For automatic page redirects, place a redirect link as the only content to the article: <nowiki>#REDIRECT article name</nowiki>

When you want to link to a category rather than having your page included in a category just put : in front of Category like this: <nowiki>Category:Help</nowiki> or <nowiki>Help Files</nowiki>.

Please note that except for the first letter of the first word, the wiki is case sensitive when it comes to multiple word article names.
