Here are some tips for linking within the Kresge Library Wiki.

Contents 1 Linking to another Wiki Page 2 Linking to a Wiki Category Page 3 Assigning a category to a page 4 Linking to wiki pages from external sites

[edit] Linking to another Wiki Page

• If you want the link to have the same name as the page, just use the "[[" "]]"s
  • [[Sports Management]]
  • [[<wiki page name>]]

• If you want to give the link a different name, add a "|" after the page name. This is the character that is shift+"\" (above the enter key)
  • [[Sports Management|Sports Management Guide on the Kresge Wiki]]
  • [[<wiki page name>|<display for the web link>]]

[edit] Linking to a Wiki Category Page

• If you want the link to have the same name as the Category Page (This will include the words “Category:” – so it might not be ideal)
  • [[:Category:Renewable and Alternative Energy]]
  • [[:<Category name>]]

• If you want the link to have a different name
  • [[:Category:Renewable and Alternative Energy|Renewable and Alternative Energy on the Kresge Wiki]]
  • [[:<Category name>|display for the web link>]]

[edit] Assigning a category to a page

• [[Category:Industry Research]]
• If your category is new – you need to create a page. Once you save the page, go to the Category Link and type something brief (this is a page of Industry Information) or something like that. Then it will display normally.

[edit] Linking to wiki pages from external sites

Links that are used on other web pages or sent to users should look like the following:

• http://webservices.itcs.umich.edu/mediawiki/KresgeLibrary/index.php/Automotive_Industry

Note: there is no 's' on the 'http'. Be sure that your links do not include the 's'.
