Links

These are used to point the reader to another page.

Be sure to USE BRACKETS NOT PARENTHESIS!

External Links

These are mainly used to direct people to an outside site like Google.com. Use these for citations at the bottom of your page

Single Bracket Links

Use a single bracket to enclose the URL of a page, leave a space then type what text you want to appear after the URL. Be SURE to include "HTTP://"

[http://www.google.com Google]
[http://www.example.com LinkTitle]

Internal Links

This, however, is what you should use the most often,they direct users to a page within Panther_XC

Double Bracket Explicit

Use double brackets to enclose a link to that SPECIFIC page in Panther_XC. Use this for in text links.

I, [[Stephen]] am the [[Administrator]] of this [[Main Page]]

Double Bracket Named

If the page title does not fit in with your sentence, you can use an in text link to link to a specific page.

Simply use double brackets again, but use a vertical line (shift+\) to separate the SPECIFIC page from the text

While [[Stephen|I]] am the creator of the [[Panther_XC|site]], I had some [[User:KChung.net|help]]

Lists

  1. Simply use a pound (#) sign before each new line in that list
  2. numbah two
  3. sometimes...

Redirecting

This is a tool to make the target be easier to find on the search. When you go to the page it will show an arrow directing to a link to the correct page. But if you type in the page name, the search engine will bypass it and go straight to the pointed link

This is simple as well. You should use this as the ONLY text on a page, it is to point viewers onto the correctly spelled page. Just be sure to use 2 sets of brackets:

#REDIRECT [[Page in Panther_XC]]

Panther_XC This is an Example of a page with a redirect in it

You can also redirect to page section within an article by using a pound (#) sign in between. Just be sure to use 2 sets of brackets:

#REDIRECT[[Help:Editing#Links]]
