[edit] Internal Photopedia Links
If you want to add a link you can use [[Link title]], where Link title is the page name of the article you want to link to.
[[Main Page]]
If use the [[Link title|text link]] format you can use a different link name for the same target.

- Endings are blended into the link.

[edit] Use headings as anchors' to link to
The anchor is a special link allowing you to link a specific portion of a page.
[edit] Setting anchors
- section headers automatically become html anchors, which can be linked to.
- "id" html attribute can be used to set an anchor. For example, <div id="what_to_link_to">text</div>.
[edit] Referencing anchors
To link a specific portion of a page you have to link the anchor setted in a page. This is possible using [[page#anchor_name|link text]], include the hash sign (#) and the header name or the id tag name as you have written it.
[edit] Redirect
A redirect is a page with no other content than something of the form
#REDIRECT link in internal link style
If you're creating a new redirect, start a new page, write #REDIRECT [[pagename]] (or #redirect[[pagename]]) at the top of the page, where pagename is the name of the target page.
Extra text after the #REDIRECT command and link, on the same line, can serve as explanatory text. It is only shown when viewing the redirect page itself.
Extra lines of text are automatically deleted on Save (not yet on Preview).
The page will not redirect if there is anything on the page before the redirect. Also, there must be no spaces between the # and the REDIRECT. Consider copying the #REDIRECT [[pagename]] text into the edit summary so that people know that you have created a redirect.
When creating new redirects, bear in mind that creating too many redirects can clutter up the search results page, which can hinder users. Also, don't spend too much time creating redirects - often it's more important to spend time improving the quality of the target page. A piped link is another way to make a link to a page with a name which does not occur in the first page.
[edit] External Links
If you want to link an external (non Photopedia) page or site, you can use the [http://www.example.com link title] format
