Help:Links/ro

There are five types of links in MediaWiki:


 * 1) Internal links to other pages in the wiki
 * 2) External links to other websites
 * 3) External links to internal pages in the wiki
 * 4) Interwiki links to other websites registered to the wiki in advance
 * 5) Interlanguage links to other websites registered as other language versions of the wiki

Internal links
To add an internal link, enclose the name of the page you want to link to in double square brackets. When you save the page, you'll see the new link pointing to your page. If the page exists already it is displayed in blue, if it does not, in red. Selflinks to the current page are not transformed in URLs but displayed in bold. (If you really want to link to the current page, use an anchor (see below), or  which always links to the top.)

The first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized, unless otherwise set by the admins, and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link will have a similar effect as typing a space, but is not recommended, since the underscore will also be shown in the text).

External links to internal pages
To add a link to a page on the same wiki using URL query parameters, you may need to use external link syntax.

How to avoid auto-links
When you put a URL on a wiki page, it will be automatically converted into an external link, like this:

https://mediawiki.org

To avoid that effect, put the URL between  tags, like this:

&lt;nowiki&gt;https://mediawiki.org&lt;/nowiki&gt;

To get this:

https://mediawiki.org

Interwiki links
Interwiki links are links with the internal link markup to a website registered in advance. For example, you can link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower by typing, which will result in a link Sunflower. This works because by default MediaWiki configures  as an "interwiki prefix" that turns into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ when used inside. (It may not work if the admin of your wiki has changed the setting.) Unlike internal links, interwiki links do not use page existence detection, so an interwiki link will appear blue even if the page does not exist on the remote wiki.

Similar to internal page links, you can create piped links, with alternate link label, e.g.  is the link big yellow flower and   is the link Sunflower.

Basically, interwiki links are abbreviations for commonly-used longer external links. A very similar link could be created as.

More details are at Manual:Interwiki and m:Help:Interwiki linking. Your wiki may have a Special:Interwiki page listing the interwiki prefixes it supports;. You can edit the Manual:Interwiki table on your site.

Interlanguage links
If your wiki has other language versions, you may find “interlanguage links” in the sidebar, just below toolbox in the box named “.”

Interlanguage links behave similarly to interwiki links, except that they are listed in the sidebar. To create an interlanguage link from a page, just type  wherever you like in the page; the language prefix is the prefix specified at your wiki for the other language version (typically the ISO 639-1 language code).

If you want to make the interlanguage link appear in the content of the page rather than in the sidebar, you can add a colon before the language prefix:
 * &rarr; en:Sunflower
