Here's how to add links:

  1. 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]]
  2. 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.
  3. To link externally (outside the wiki), use one bracket pair instead of two, as well as an absolute path:
    [http://www.website.com/]
  4. To link to someone's email, use the mailto: prefix:
    [mailto:joe_person@email.com]
  5. To change the appearance of an internal or familiar link, use the vertical line symbol:
    [[This page|This neat page]]
  6. 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]
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
    If you see a light blue link with the Thorax logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Thorax Corporation website.
    If you see a light blue link with the Videlectrix logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Videlectrix website.
