Help:Links

Links can be used on Halopedia to, as their name suggests, link to other pages. There are both external(outside of wiki) and internal(inside wiki) links.

Internal Links
To do an internal link, you simply put the name of the page inside of two pairs of brackets. For example, to link to the article about the Plasma Pistol, you do the following: Plasma Pistol, and you get: Plasma Pistol.

Inter-wiki Links
Interwiki links link from one wiki to another. For instance, to link to the Wii Wiki article on the Wii from Halopedia, you do: w:c:Wii:Wii, and you get: w:c:Wii:Wii. To link to another wiki instead of Wii Wiki, simply replace the first Wii(after c:) with the word that goes before .wikia.com in the wiki's URL.

Customizing Links
As you may have noticed, regular links look rather bland and unattractive. But it doesn't have to be that way. To learn more, read on. NOTE:a certain amount of HTML knowledge may be necessary to garner the desired results.

Internal Links
To change the appearance of an internal link, just put a pipe(|) after the link, and then use HTML or wiki formatting to alter to your preference. Example: Before: Main Page -- Main Page After: Main Page -- Main Page

Inter-wiki Links
To customize inter-wiki links, use the same process as the one for internal links; putting a pipe after the link, and then how you want the link to appear afterwards.
