TangoWiki (and MediaWiki) distinguish between the following link types:

  • Internal Links: Links to other pages within the wiki. (=Wiki links)
  • External Links: Links to other pages on the internet.
  • InterWiki Links: Links to other Wikis or other language areas of TangoWiki.

To create an internal link to any other page on the wiki, just put the word(s) (i.e. the target page title) into two pairs of square brackets. After saving the article the link will appear on the page. If the linked page already exists, the link will appear in blue font. If not, the text will be shown in red. This also applies to links that have the wrong spelling.

Example:

To add a new link, you can always use the chain symbol Link.png in the edit tool bar. See more in Text formatting.

Internal links

Description Wiki code Example Output
Internal link [[Pagename]] [[Main Page]] Main Page
Internal link with different text [[Pagename|Link text]] [[Main Page|back to Main Page]] back to Main Page
Internal link with jump label/anchor
Anchors are automatically applied for all headings and the start of the page #top
[[Pagename#Anchor|Link text]] [[Help:Text formatting#Weblinks|to the Weblinks]] to the Weblinks
Link to a category [[:Category:Category name]] [[:Category:Help]] Category:Help
Link to a category with different text [[:Category:Category name|Link text]] [[:Category:Help|All help articles]] All help articles
Internal link to an image file (will show the image) [[Image:Example.jpg]] [[Image:kursiv.png]] Kursiv.png
Internal link to a file (links the file) [[File:Example.mp3]] [[File:Example.mp3]] File:Example.mp3
Redirection to another page #REDIRECT [[Pagename]] #REDIRECT [[Main Page]] Main Page
The pipe trick: If you save an internal link to a page with a prefix and would like to get rid of the prefix, use the pipe trick:

Writing: [[Help:Short instruction|]] will show as Short instruction and will be saved as [[Help:Short instruction|Short instruction]]. It spares you the time of writing the same title without prefix again. The pipe does this job for you.
