Please include as many links as possible in between the wiki articles but also to sources outside the wiki as references.

There are different types of links in MediaWiki:

  1. Internal links to other pages in the wiki
  2. External links to other websites

You can add both using the 🔗 (Link) button of the wiki editor.

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 the link is displayed in blue; if it does not exist it appears red (unless the color scheme of the wiki has been changed from the default). Links to the current page title ("selflinks") do not result in live links but are displayed in bold. (If you really want to link to the current page, you probably want to link to a specific section or to an anchor; see examples below.)

If you are interested to see what articles link to one page, visit Special:Whatlinkshere.

External links

Note that the preference for the wiki are articles related to energy and thus references to general points of information should rather be directed to sources outside the wiki.
