Internal Links:

When entering information to a connectipedia card, you can put links to other cards—this is helpful when entering information related to other topics or pointing the user to another bit of helpful information. Simply put the link between brackets. For example, typing this:

[[Phoebe Owens]]

will give you this link:

Phoebe Owens

or, you can change how the link appears like this:

[[Phoebe Owens|Phoebe's info]]

will give you:

Phoebe's info

External Links:

When entering information to a connectipedia card, you can put links to other websites—this allows you to enter only the most crucial information about a resource, report, or organization and allow an interested user to visit the website to learn more on his or her own. To make a link to an outside website, simply type the link as it appears in your web browser. For example, typing this:

http://www.google.com or www.google.com work

Again, if you want the text of the link to be different, you use double brackets and put a vertical pipe after the link, followed by the text. 

[[http://www.google.com|Google is an external link]]

will give you:

Google is an external link

Links to page/s that do/does not exist yet:

If you are entering information and know that a specific internal page does not exist, but needs to, you can still link to that page, and in so doing you create it. (Note: You just have to click on that link to create it.) For example, typing this:

[[I don't exist]]

will give you:

I don't exist

or, typing this:

[[http://www.connectipedia.org/wagn/new_card|An example new card]]

will give you:

An example new card
