This is called [[anchor text]] and is usually best avoided, as it does not reinforce the name of the page in the end user's mind. | |||

is used to link to other wiki's namespaces without writing the fully qualified URL. This makes collaboration between wikis much simpler. | |||

*To link to http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia use [[m:Wikipedia]] | |||

Links outside [[Consumerium]] are colored [[w:color|differently]] then the usual ones. | |||

== | ===[[MediaWiki]] 1.2.0rc3 and [[GetWiki]] defaults === | ||
The following are the non-[[standard wiki URI]]s which are the unwise defaults: | |||
http://www.consumerium.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Wiki_linking (as before) | http://www.consumerium.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Wiki_linking (as before) | ||

==Interwiki links | ''The [[standard wiki URI]] as used at Wikipedia would be http://en.consumerium.org/wiki/Wiki_linking - the /wiki/ subspace indicating articles amenable to wiki based [[edits, votes and bets|editing]]. There may be other spaces for /print/ or a non-wiki /edit/.'' | ||

===Linking to other language Wikipedias=== | |||
Should anyone have the need to link to Wikipedia in languages other than English, just stick in the language code like so: [[Wikipedia:fr:Commerce équitable]] or [[w:fr:Commerce équitable]]. | |||

===Proposed Interwiki link standard=== | |||
''Please use alternate anchor text to simulate an [[interwiki link standard]] for now, e.g. [http://recyclopedia.info/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Recyclopedia:avoid_anchor_text en: Recyclopedia: avoid anchor text]. Eventually this should be directly supported in software.'' | |||

==Linking to URLs that use apostrophes (')== | |||
Directly writing the apostrophe to the url does not work and the apostrophe (') should be replaced by "%27" instead of the apostrophe, in the URL. Ugly but it works. | |||
