 * There is an example of that on the Help:Links page here. Just add a colon:  Category:Consonant_Assimilation . Same trick for linking to image pages -- Harry Wood 18:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I did't catch that! Thanks a lot 211.47.123.21

Anchors, Internet Explorer 8.0 and w3c
I am not sure about this anchor links to jump to a section on the same site. It not work on mediawiki sites. But it work on w3c sites like http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/about.html, therefore what's the problem? --Lastwebpage 09:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

How to make mailto link do First Last 
I have not figured out how to get MediaWiki to let me do this. I tried [mailto:First%20Last%20] [mailto:%20First%20Last] [mailto:First%20Last ] [mailto: First%20Last] [mailto:foo@bar.com First%20Last] [mailto:foo@bar.com%20First%20Last First Last] [mailto:%20First%20Last First Last] [mailto:First%20Last%20 First Last] None of these works.

This workaround is as close as I could come: [mailto:(First%20Last)%20foo@bar.com First Last]

 * In this case  works and is displayed (as you wish) as [mailto:foo@bar.com First Last ]. The structure is generally the same as for normal external links:  . -- :bdk:  23:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
