'''Links''' are important in WikiChrisitian WikiChristian articles.{{tutorial}}
==Internal links==
One of the things that makes WikiChrisitian WikiChristian useful (and addictive) is extensive cross-listing by [[internal links]]. These easily-created links allow users to access information related to the article they're reading.
===When to link===
The easiest way to learn when to link is to look at WikiChrisitian WikiChristian articles for examples. If you're trying to decide whether to make a link or not, ask yourself "If I were reading this article, would the link be useful to me?"
===How to link===
When you want to make a link to another WikiChrisitian WikiChristian page (called a <em>wiki link</em>) you have to put it in double square brackets, like this:
:<tt><nowiki>[[Sandbox]]</nowiki></tt>
For example, if you want to make a link to, say, the ''WikiChrisitianWikiChristian:Contributing to WikiChrisitianWikiChristian'' page, it would be::<tt><nowiki>[[WikiChrisitianWikiChristian:Contributing to WikiChrisitianWikiChristian]]</nowiki></tt>(The 'WikiChrisitianWikiChristian:' part signifies that the target page is in the WikiChrisitian [[WikiChrisitian:namespace|WikiChristian namespace]], rather than the Main namespace, where normal articles go.)
Also remember that in WikiChrisitian WikiChristian the links are created automatically, so if you put double square brackets around a word, it becomes a link, and because of that you have to be careful about [[WikiChrisitian:Disambiguation|disambiguation]].
If you want to use words other than the article title as the text of the link, you can add an alternative name by adding after the pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards).
For example, if you wanted to make a link to this page's sandbox, but wanted it to say "my text" you would write it as such:
:<tt>To view the article, <nowiki>[[WikiChrisitian:Tutorial (WikiChrisitian links)/sandbox|my text]]</nowiki>...</tt>
It would appear as:
:To view the article, [[/sandbox|my text]]...
but would link to the sandbox.
Linking dates may not seem useful; however, please do link dates since it enables the use of a user preference in how dates are displayed. An unlinked date, like July 13, 2004, will always be displayed in that manner. If you link the date:
:<tt><nowiki>[[July 13]], [[2004]]</nowiki></tt>
:July 13, 2004
:13 July 2004
==Categories==
You can also put the article in a category with others in a related topic. Just type <nowiki>[[Category:]]</nowiki>, and put the name of the category between the colon and the brackets. For more information, refer to the [[WikiChrisitian:Categories|Categories]] page.
==Experiment==
Try it! Here's the [[/sandbox/]] for this page.
