==Links and URLs==
{{Note|This whole section on links is better read on wikipedia, as the original links are there, here we had to prepend <code>Wikipedia:</code> to avoid many broken links. Original here: [[Wikipedia:Help:Wikitext#Links and URLs|Links and URLs]]}}

====Automatically rename links====
* Simply typing the pipe character | after a link will automatically rename the link in certain circumstances. The next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. When [[Wikipedia:Help:Show preview|previewing]] your edits, you will not see the expanded form until you press '''Save''' and '''Edit''' again. The same applies to [[#link-to-section|links to sections within the same page]].
* See [[Wikipedia:Help:Pipe trick|Pipe trick]] for details.
Line 902 ⟶ 903:
* [[Wikipedia:Redirect|Redirect]] one article title to another by placing a directive like the one shown to the right on the ''first'' line of the article (such as at a page titled "[[Wikipedia:US|US]]").
* It is possible to redirect to a section. For example, a redirect to [[Wikipedia:United States#History]] will redirect to the History section of the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]] page, if it exists.

===Link to the same article in another language (interlanguage links)===
{{main|Wikipedia:Help:Interlanguage links|Wikipedia:Complete list of language wikis available}}
{{notice|After the launch of [[Wikipedia:Wikidata|Wikidata]], interlanguage links are now added through it. Links in articles should exist only in special cases, for example when an article in one language has two articles in another language.}}
Line 941 ⟶ 942:
* Interlanguage links are not visible within the formatted article, but instead appear as language links on the sidebar (to the left) under the menu section "languages".
* '''NOTE:''' To create an '''''inline link''''' (a clickable link within the text) to ''any'' foreign language article, see [[Wikipedia:Help:Interlanguage links#Inline interlanguage links]] and consider the usage notes.

===Interwiki link===
* [[Wikipedia:Interwiki links|Interwiki links]] link to any page on other wikis. [[Wikipedia:Help:Interwikimedia links|Interwikimedia links]] link to other Wikimedia wikis.
* Note that interwikimedia links use the internal link style, with double square brackets.
* See [[
* See also [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia sister projects|Wikimedia sister projects]].
Line 1,065 ⟶ 1,066:
*Single square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a ''space'' (not a pipe |) to separate the URL from the link text in a named link. Square brackets may be used as normal punctuation when not linking to anything – [like this].
*A [[Wikipedia:Uniform Resource Locator|URL]] must begin with a supported [[Wikipedia:URI scheme|URI scheme]]: <code>http://</code> and <code>https://</code> will be supported by all browsers; <code>irc://</code>, <code>ircs://</code>, <code>ftp://</code>, <syntaxhighlight lang="text" inline>news://</syntaxhighlight>, <code>mailto:</code>, and <code>gopher://</code> will require a plugin or an external application. IPv6 addresses in URLs are currently not supported.
*A URL containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are [[Wikipedia:Percent-encoding|percent encoded]]. For example, a space must be replaced by <code>%20</code>. Encoding can be achieved by:
:*Use the link button [[File:OOjs UI icon link-ltr.svg]] on the enhanced editing toolbar to encode the link; this tool will add the bracket markup and the linked text, which may not always be desirable.
:*Or manually encode the URL by replacing these characters:
Line 1,075 ⟶ 1,076:
| %20 || %22 || %27 || %2c || %3b || %3c || %3e || %3f || %5b || %5d
|}
:*Or use the <code><nowiki>{{urlencode:}}</nowiki></code> magic word. See [[
* See [[Wikipedia:External links]] for style issues, and [[:Category:External link file type templates]] for indicating the file type of an external link with an icon.

Magic links are automatic links for certain unique identifiers that require no markup. They can be used for ISBN numbers, RFC numbers, and PMID numbers.
