17 July-31 July CHARLES SMITH'S tip of the week: Internal Links are created by using opening and closing double brackets around the title of the Wiki article you want to link to. If no article matches the word or phrase you put in the link will turn red. If the internal article has a different title that the word or phrase you want to use as a link to it, then put the article title in front of the word or phrase separated by a pipe External Links are created by using single opening and closing brackets with the URL then space, then then word or phrase withing the brackets. External Link Google Search
