Editing Creating a New Wiki Page (section)

== Linking to Pages or Sections == 

'''Internal Links'''<br>
Internal links are hyperlinks that are on the same website as in this PWI Wiki.<br>
When you want to link to another PWI Wiki article page just type double brackets around the page title of the page you want to your link to go to, like this:<br> 
 <nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>
Written this way the link can be clicked on to take you to the page named in the brackets.<br>
The link above will take you to the PWI Wiki's "Main Page" article and look like this: [[Main Page]]


You can also assign a different text to display instead of the actual page link name by using a pipe character, "|" in the link.  For example, "A link to <nowiki>[[Templates|the article on templates]]</nowiki>" is displayed as "A link to [[Templates|the article on templates]]".  Clicking on the text "the article on templates" will take you to the [[Templates]] page in this wiki.


To create a link that goes directly to a section within a page you can write:<br>
 <nowiki>[[Beginner's Guide#Questing|Questing for Beginners]]</nowiki>
that would display as: [[Beginner's Guide#Questing|Questing for Beginners]]<br>
In this example; "Beginner's Guide" is the Page name, "Questing" is the section within that page and "Questing for Beginners" is the text that is displayed for the link.


Here's another link: [[My Friendly Wiki Page Link]].  Note that the link is in orange, instead of gold, indicating that the page does not yet exist.  If you click on that link it will try to make a page with the title "My Friendly Wiki Page Link". (Please don't make that page you'll ruin the example.)<br>
This can however be a shortcut way to create a page or sub-page of the one you are working on.


'''External Links'''<br>
If you have to create a link that is outside the website your Wiki is on (the PWI Wiki) then you will have to use a single bracket instead of a double bracket and use that website page's hyperlink address instead of an article's page name.<br>
So in a simple form, a link to the Wikipedia's "Help:Wiki markup" page would be written like this:<br>
<nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Text_formatting Wiki Markup Help Page]</nowiki><br>
and shown as: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Text_formatting Wiki Markup Help Page]<br>
Note that the text after the first '''space''' preceding the URL, '''"Wiki Markup Help Page"''' is what gets displayed in the wiki.

=== Image and File Uploads ===

Click the "[[Special:Upload|Upload file]]" link in the Toolbox links on the left of every page to get to a page that has information and a form that is used to upload any images that you wish to use in your article. Please first check for available images that are already in the system that can be used so you don't upload a duplicate.

The [[Template:Imagebox|Imagebox Template]] can be used to display images in various ways that conform to the style of this wiki.
