Internal Links

An internal link is a link made to a page within a wiki.

To create a link to an existing page within the HPC and BD wiki, the name of the page to link to is placed between two square brackets ( ... ).

For example, if to link to the HPC and BD/Events page, the following text would be inserted:

[[HPC and BD/Events]]

Which will result in the following:

HPC and BD/Events

In some cases, you may want to link to a page but reference it using alternate text.

For example:

In order to access the HPC and BD/Events page on this wiki, please click [[HPC and BD/Events|here]].

Note the use of the "|" separator used within the square brackets.

Which appears as:

In order to access the HPC and BD/Events page on this wiki, please click here.


Careful: If the internal wiki link you create is red in the preview pane, this indicates the page you are linking to does not exist. If you intend to create a new page follow the red link to the new page and begin adding text. If you are pointing to an existing page, double check the spelling of the page name. It should be noted that the wiki page tites are case-sensitive in that the first letter must be capitalized. When creating a new page, the title should be specific. For example, instead of "Meeting Minutes", the title should be "Working Group A January 10, 2013 Meeting Minutes"

External Links

Links to pages outside of the wiki can be created in several different ways:

  • Single brackets and no separator are used to create a link to a page outside the wiki. For example, a link to a user's homepage can be created usiing:
[http://web.njit.edu/~ucid UCID's Homepage]

Appears as: UCID's Homepage

  • You can also enter the text with no mark-up:
http://web.njit.edu/~ucid

Appears as: http://web.njit.edu/~ucid
