Help:Create an Internal Link

Create an internal link by following the steps listed below:

 * 1) Log in to the site
 * 2) Navigate to the page where the link will be created
 * 3) Add two square brackets at the beginning and end of the text that will be the link.

This text must be an exact match to the article being linked to or a new blank article will be created.

The link will appear in blue if the page being linked to already exists.

The link text will appear in red if the page being linked to does not exist yet. Click on the red link to create the page and begin adding text.

How to make the link text different from the article being linked to
It is possible to create an internal link with the link text different than the title of the page being linked to by adding double square brackets then the text of the article title being linked to | and then the text that you want to appear as the link.

Example:

square brackets twice [African American Resources|African American Research] square brackets twice

will appear as:      African American Research

Tip: the pipe symbol | is created with the shift + \ key pressed at the same time.
