Linking

Linking is the most basic and important feature of the wiki. By linking wiki pages to each other the wiki becomes more comprehensive and reflective of our collective knowledge.

  • To link to a page, surround its title with double brackets. So then, the code [[Eric Weinstein]] produces the link Eric Weinstein.
  • To change how the link displays, separate the page title and the text you want displayed with the | symbol. So then, the code [[Eric Weinstein|Eric]] produces the link Eric.
