Help:Links

Links in MediaWiki:


 * 1) Internal links to other pages in the wiki
 * 2) External links to other websites

Internal links
To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already it is displayed in blue, if it does not, in red. Selflinks to the current page are not transformed in URLs but displayed in bold. (If you really want to link to the current page, use an anchor (see below), or current page which always links to the top.)

The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized, unless otherwise set by the admins, and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link will have a similar effect as typing a space, but is not recommended, since the underscore will also be shown in the text).

Sharing External Kannada weblinks on KOER
When we share a Kannada webpage with the web address in Kannada, we get the long set of funny characters, unlike in english addresses. There is a way we can avoid this - pls do the following:

೧. copy only the English part of the web address and paste this on GEDIT (Applications - Accessories - Text Editor)        -        http://kn.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/

೨. copy only the Kannada part of the web address and paste this on GEDIT (Applications - Accessories - Text Editor)       -    ಭಾರತದ_ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ_ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ

೩. in GEDIT, copy the Kannada part and paste it after the English part               - http://kn.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ಭಾರತದ_ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ_ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ

೪. Now share this link, which will be easy to read and will open on the browser        -    http://kn.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ಭಾರತದ_ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ_ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ

How to avoid auto-links
When you put a URL on a wiki page it will be automatically converted into an external link, like this:

http://mediawiki.org

To avoid that effect, put the URL between   tags, like this:

&lt;nowiki&gt;http://mediawiki.org&lt;/nowiki&gt;

To get this:

http://mediawiki.org
