Help:Editing (links and URLs)

This page or section requires a cleanup and you can help Hattrick Wiki by editing this page or section. Possible reasons for the addition of this tag are: lack of consistency, bad or no usage of the basic editing rules, no neutral point of view, bad English, wrong links, too many links in a link section, irrelevant information, information rather needing its own article, a general need for a rewrite etc.

You can read more uptodate information about this topic in the Wikimedia articles about editing links, links and URLs.

What it looks like	What you type
London has public transport. A link to another hattrick wiki article. Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended). Thus the link above is to the URL http://wiki.hattrick.org/Team_spirit, which is the Wikipedia article with the name "Team spirit". See also Wikipedia:Canonicalization.	London has [[public transport]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. Same target, different name. This is a piped link.	San Francisco also has [[public transport|public transportation]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. Examples include buses, taxis and streetcars. Endings are blended into the link. Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible.	San Francisco also has [[public transport]]ation. Examples include [[bus]]es, [[taxi]]s and [[streetcar]]s.
See the Hattrick:Manual of style. A link to another namespace.	See the [[Hattrick:Manual of style]].
Economics#See also is a link to a section within another page. #Links and URLs is a link to a section on the current page. #example is a link to an anchor that was created using an id attribute The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page, or an identifier created in some other way. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections aren't broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page. Identifiers may be created by attaching an id="..."> attribute to almost any HTML element.	[[Economics#See also]] is a link to a section within another page. [[#Links and URLs]] is a link to a section on the current page. [[#example]] is a link to an anchor that was created using <div id="example">an id attribute</div>
Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: kingdom. Automatically hide namespace and other stuff: HattrickWikiProject. But not: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Links|]] The server fills in the part after the pipe character (|) when you save the page. The next time you open the edit box you will see the expanded piped link. When previewing your edits, you will not see the expanded form until you press Save and Edit again. The same applies to links to sections within the same page (see previous entry).	Automatically hide stuff in parentheses: [[kingdom (biology)|]]. Automatically hide namespace and other stuff: [[Hattrick:HattrickWikiProject|]]. But not: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Links|]]
The weather in London is a page that doesn't exist yet. You can create it by clicking on the link (but please don't do so with this particular link). To create a new page: Create a link to it on some other (related) page. Save that page. Click on the link you just made. The new page will open for editing. For more information, see How to start a page and check out Wikipedia's naming conventions. Please do not create a new article without linking to it from at least one other article.

Redirect one article title to another by placing a directive like the one shown to the right on the first line of the article (such as at a page titled "USA"). Note that, while it is possible to link to a section, it is not possible to redirect to a section. For example, "#REDIRECT [[United States#History]]" will redirect to the United States page, but not to any particular section on it. This feature will not be implemented in the future, so such redirects should not be used.	#REDIRECT [[United States]]
Link to a page on the same subject in another language by using a link of the form: [[language code:Title]]. It does not matter where you put these links while editing as they will always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended. Please see Hattrick:Interlanguage links and the list of languages and codes.	[[fr:Wikipédia:Aide]]

To put an article in a Hattrick:Category, place a link like the one to the right anywhere in the article.

Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources: Bare URL: http://www.nupedia.com/ (bad style) Unnamed link: [1] (bad style) Named link: Nupedia See MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki_map for the list of shortcuts. Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a space (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version. In the URL, all symbols must be among: A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \ / ~ % - + & # ? ! = ( ) @ \x80-\xFF If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the hex code of the character, which can be found in the table of ASCII printable characters. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as %5E. See Wikipedia:External links for style issues.
