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-insensitive 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]]

To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like \[[WikiLink#foo]]

Note that you cannot use spaces in WikiLinks. Replace spaces with underscores.
