Editing Wiki/Links

== Page, URL, and Wiki Links: ==
=== Wiki Pages ===

You can link to a page by removing the spaces between two or more words, and starting each word with a capital letter. For instance, SandBox is an example of page links.

People abhorring Pascal Case can use  a ''free link'': surround text with two pairs of square brackets like <nowiki>[[Sample Free Link]]</nowiki>. This allows all-downcase or atomic capitalized names as well as strange names including punctuation.

=== URLs ===

Plain URL link: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SandBox -- <nowiki>http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SandBox</nowiki>

Named URL link: [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SandBox Sandbox] -- <nowiki>[http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?SandBox Sandbox]</nowiki>

Image URL link: [http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl http://usemod.com/wiki.gif] -- <nowiki>[http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl http://usemod.com/wiki.gif]</nowiki>

=== On-Site URLS ===

To make on-site links you must respecify the protocol e.g.:
*[http:/wiki.gif like this local link] -- <nowiki>[http:/wiki.gif like this local link]</nowiki>
*[http:../wiki.gif this relative link] -- <nowiki>[http:../wiki.gif this relative link]</nowiki>

=== Inter Wiki ===

Inter Wiki link: LocalWiki:About -- <nowiki>LocalWiki:About</nowiki>

=== Sub Page ===

The subpage idea allows every main page to contain its own wiki universe of subpages.  The subpages can be used to help refactor a large page without the problems of a <nowiki>LongPrefixBeforeEachPage</nowiki>.

Subpages of a common topic can easily refer to each other without a prefix, while outside pages require the prefix.  (One could consider a "search path" extension to allow groups of pages to share subtopics.)

The subpage can also be used to expand ideas into other pages, especially when one is uncertain whether the idea deserves a full top-level page.

The [[Wiki]] page is an example of subpages.
