-==Linking==
+==Links==
-Basically, there are two types of links: 1) Links that call pages/files from outside 2) and links that call wiki-own pages/files. Do you see the structure in 2b ? '''<nowiki>[[ | ]]</nowiki>'''
+Basically, there are thee types of links: 1) links to external pages and files; 2) intralinks to other pages on the wiki; 3) interwiki links.
+===External links===
+(1a) Write the following to get some text acting as an ''outgoing'' hyperlink.
+ '''['''<nowiki>http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/ here is our forum</nowiki>''']'''
+The result is: [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/ here is our forum]
-(1) Write following to get an ''outgoing'' link which is fixed to some text
+(1b) If you omit the alternative text, the result will be different:
-  '''['''<nowiki>http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/ here is our forum</nowiki>''']'''
+  Here '''['''<nowiki>http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/</nowiki>''']''' is our forum
-The result is this: ''[http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/ here is our forum]''
+The result is: here [http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/] is our forum
+(1c) You can also write URLs without any markup. Like this:
+:Here is our forum: http://oni.bungie.org/community/forum/
+Note that images will appear inline if you do that.
-(2a) Write following to get an ''interwiki'' link
+===Intralinks===
+(2a) Write the following to get an ''intrawiki'' link
   '''[['''<nowiki>Quotes/Consoles#STURMANDERUNG_:_Final_Stage</nowiki>''']]'''
 The result is this: [[Quotes/Consoles#STURMANDERUNG_:_Final_Stage]]
+(2b) Write following to get an ''intrawiki'' link which is fixed to some text
-(2b) Write following to get an ''interwiki'' link which is fixed to some text
   '''[['''<nowiki>OniSplit#Download_links</nowiki>'''|'''<nowiki>here you can download onisplit</nowiki>''']]'''
 The result is this: [[OniSplit#Download_links|here you can download onisplit]]
 This kind of link (2a/2b) always spares you to write '''<nowiki>http://wiki.oni2.net/</nowiki>'''<font style="color:#777">OniSplit#Download_links</font>
+===Interwiki links===
+You can link to Wiktionary, the English Wikipedia and meta.wikimedia.org as if they were pages of our own wiki, using the prefixes '''<nowiki>[[wiktionary:]]</nowiki>''', '''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:]]</nowiki>''' and '''<nowiki>[[metawikipedia:]]</nowiki>'''
