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.
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====
==Using 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: <nowiki>[[Plasma Pistol]]</nowiki>, and you get: [[Plasma Pistol]].
===Internal links===
To create 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: <nowiki>[[Plasma Pistol]]</nowiki>, and you get: [[Plasma Pistol]].


====Interwiki links====
===Interwiki links===
Interwiki links link from one wiki to another. For instance, to link to the [[mariowiki:Main Page|Mario Wiki]] article on the Wii from Halopedia, you do: <nowiki>[[mariowiki:Wii]]</nowiki>, and you get: [[mariowiki:Wii]]. To link to another wiki instead of the Mario Wiki, simply replace "mariowiki" with another interwiki code from [[Special:Interwiki|this list]]. To link to a Wikia site, use <nowiki>[[w:c:subdomain:Article]]</nowiki> where the subdomain is what appears before <code>.wikia.com</code> in the URL. For example, [[w:c:wii:Nintendo]] links to the Nintendo article on the Wii Wiki.
Interwiki links link from one wiki to another. For instance, to link to the [[mariowiki:|Mario Wiki]] article on the Wii from Halopedia, you do: <nowiki>[[mariowiki:Wii]]</nowiki>, and you get: [[mariowiki:Wii]]. To link to another wiki instead of the Mario Wiki, simply replace "mariowiki" with another interwiki code from [[Special:Interwiki|this list]].


====External links====
===External links===
To make an external link, you copy the address of the web page you want to make a link to, and put it inside one pair of brackets. Example: <nowiki>[http://www.halopedia.org/Main_Page]</nowiki> makes [http://www.halopedia.org/Main_Page], which sends you to the main page of Halopedia.
To make an external link, you copy the address of the web page you want to make a link to, and put it inside one pair of brackets. Example: <nowiki>[https://www.google.com]</nowiki> makes [https://www.google.com], which sends you to Google.


If you want to make a link to a page on [www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], you do <nowiki>[[wikipedia:Halo 3]]</nowiki>. This will appear as [[wikipedia:Halo 3]].
If you want to make a link to a page on Wikipedia, you do <nowiki>[[wikipedia:Halo 3]]</nowiki>. This will appear as [[wikipedia:Halo 3]].
