Help:Link
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Here's how to add links:
- To add a link to an internal page (in the wiki), use these link styles:
- For an article page:
[[This one normal page]]
- For an page in another namespace:
[[Namespace:Page name]]
- For an article page:
- To link to a common external page, like the fanstuff wiki or the Hometar Runner website, use a namespace-style link with one of the special prefixes.
- To link externally (outside the wiki), use one bracket pair instead of two, as well as an absolute path:
[http://www.website.com/]
- To link to someone's email, use the mailto: prefix:
[mailto:joe_person@email.com]
- To change the appearance of an internal or familiar link, use the vertical line symbol:
[[This page|This neat page]]
- To change the appearance of an external link or an email link, insert a space after the link:
[http://www.website.com/ A neat site]
- Figuring out what the link colors mean:
- If you see a deep blue link, it means it's a link within this wiki.
- If you see a light blue link, it means it's a link to Wikipedia, the Forum, or the Fanstuff wiki.
- If you see a light blue link with an arrow next to it, it means it's an external link.
- If you see a red link, it means it's not a real wiki page, or its not a correctly typed link.
- If you see a deep blue link, it means it's a link within this wiki.
- Figuring out what the symbols next to some links mean:
- Note: If you are using Internet Explorer, you may not be able to see these symbols. Go here to see them.
- If you see a light blue link with an envelope next to it, it means it's a link to someone's email address.
- If you see a light blue link with a chat sign next to it, it means it's a link to an irc chat.
- If you see a light blue link with the Yahoo! logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Homestar Store.
- If you see a light blue link with the Homestar Runner logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Homestar website.
