Setting up a New Page
Creating a link to a page that does not yet exist is the first step to creating a new page. There are a number of different options to do this -
| Description | What to type | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Type that name of the page next to the wikiEducator url | http://www.wikieducator.org/nameofpagedesired | External Link will show on page, when you click on it the page will have no content. |
| Set up a new page under your user name | www.wikieducator.org/User:XXXX/nameofpagedesired | External Link will show on page, when you click on it the page will have no content. |
| To create a link to an existing page in WikiEducator | [[nameofpagedesired]] | Name of page will show in blue and you are able to link to it. |
| Using the editing toolbar | Highlight the word or set of words you would like to be the name of your new page and click on the Internal Link  button in the GUI toolbar
|
When you preview or save your content, you will see that the text you have now linked has changed colour. If this link points towards a page that does not yet exist in the wiki, the link will be red. If the page already exists the link will be blue. |
Linking pages
Internal Links: Pages within WikiEducator
| Description | What to type | Result |
|---|---|---|
| To create a link to an existing page in WikiEducator | [[nameofpagedesired]] | Name of page will show in blue and you are able to link to it. |
| Using the editing toolbar | Highlight the word or set of words you would like to be the name of your new page and click on the Internal Link button in the GUI toolbar
|
When you preview or save your content, you will see that the text you have now linked has changed colour. If this link points towards a page that does not yet exist in the wiki, the link will be red. If the page already exists the link will be blue. |
| If you want the displayed text of the link to have a different title than the actual page name you can do so by adding the pipe | divider | SHIFT + BACKSLASH [[Name of the Target page|display text]] |
eg, want to create a link that displays to the user as "Next Page" but the page itself will be called "ProjectPage2". |
External Links: Other web pages
| Description | What to type | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Type that name of the url you want to link to (including Http:\) | http://www.desired url/ | External Link will show on page, when you click on it will link to the external page. This will display the raw web address. |
| Description appears as the title of the link | [http://www.desired_url.org Text that you want displayed] | Text that you want displayed will show on page in blue then when you click on the text, it will link to the external page |
| Enclosing the link in single square brackets without providing a description | [http://www.desired_url.org] | Will display the link as a number in brackets, like this: [1]. This format is mostly used for citing sources within an article. It looks like a footnote, so it's best to use it only as such (for example, following a direct quote or a statement which requires a source). |
