This is an external help page.
Linking to pages[edit | edit source]
Linking to pages can be really easy! you can use two types of links:
- External links (to another webpage foreign to shoutwiki.)
- Internal links (Pages to pages) Help pages
To make a link for external use, [[URL display]] To make a link for internal use, [[Target|display]]
After the page link, you may also make a display name for the link.
Simply type | after the targeted page name (Only for internal links) + Text, for assistance, please click "Help pages" above or contact staff or any experienced user on their talk page.
Good luck! Your friends at Shoutwiki.
Displays of text[edit | edit source]
- Internal link example: Help pages
- External link example: Shoutwiki Home
To contact shoutwiki staff, please use special:contact.
