Link Examples
I am working on a mod entry tutorial for the wiki and I wanted to demonstrate some various ways to present a link. It occurred to me that creating unique Categories for various mods might present a bit of a challenge if we have more than one mod with the same 3 letter naming convention that we are all used to. For example we all call Rome Total War RTW, and Empire Total War ETW. If your mod conflicts with the standard naming convention we are all used to, then you have to come up with something unique for creating unique pages, but we can still make that display however you want.
For instance my main page is named GrnEyedDvl and to link to it you put that in double brackets then it displays like this GrnEyedDvl
The markup code to do that is [[GrnEyedDvl]]
If we want it to say something other than GrnEyedDvl then we mark it up like this:
[[GrnEyedDvl|Some Other Text]] and we get this which takes you to the same page: Some Other Text
The key is sticking that pipe character between the page name and the displayed text. A few more examples, all leading to the same page.
If you mouse over each one of those links you will see they all go to the same page. Fell free to edit this page and view the code.
