WikiLinks provide easy linking between pages of the wiki. To create a [[WikiLink]], just put the name of the page to link to in double brackets. For example "[[WikiLink]]".

If you ever need to write something like "[[WikiLink]] without creating a wikilink, just prefix it with a "", like "\\[[WikiLink]]".

There are some special [[SubPage/LinkingRules]] that come into play when linking between [[SubPages|SubPage]].

Also, if the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will be displayed inline on the page.

WikiLinks are matched with page names in a case-insensative manner, so you don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise links at the start of a sentence, and so on.

It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the page name as the link text. For example "[[foo_bar|SandBox]]" links to the SandBox page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]]
