There are two types of links. The first is an external link, which uses only one bracket on both sides of the link, along with what you want to name the link right after the link (you need a space after the link). An example would be <nowiki>[http://www.youtube.com Youtube]</nowiki>. You do not have to name it, but it will only appear as a [1] if you leave it as is. You can leave the link as is, but remember to make things look as neat as possible. Also, links need an http:// before them, or it will not link correctly. External links are for anything not on the wiki already, or for linking to a part of a page rather than the top of the page (this requires that the page is separated in titles, so that you click the section of the page from the top, then use that link as your source). An example of directing a person to a certain part of a page would be<nowiki> [[Elements#Element_Abilities '''''Here'''']]</nowiki>. That leaves internal links, which is a normal link to anything that is on this wiki. Rather than full links and a title, you only need two brackets on both sides of a page name to internally link it. If the page doesn't exist, whatever the page is named (will explain further) will appear as red. The next step is being able to internally link something while having a different name appear. Just put the normal name of the page, then press Shift+ Backslash(|), then put the name that you want to appear, i.e. <nowiki>[[5-x|Jaoquin]]</nowiki>.
