There are several kinds of links that can be put on a Spiral Knights wiki pages.

• For normal wiki links to articles: [[article name]] i.e. sword
  • If you want to link to an article from a word with additional letters: [[article name]]s i.e. swords
• For phrases linked to wiki articles: [[article name|linked phrase]] i.e. those dangerous sharp objects

• For links to Wikipedia or Wikicities instead of a SK wiki link use: [[Wikipedia:article name]] name or [[Wikicities:article name]] i.e. Wikipedia:Pirate or Wikicities:FAQ
• For phrases linked to Wikipedia or Wikicities: [[Wikipedia:article name|linked phrase]] name or [[Wikicities:article name|linked phrase]] i.e. Real Piracy or What's this wiki thing? (this is currently disabled, but will be fixed soon)

• For phrases linked to URLs: [http://www.yoururl.com Linked phrase] i.e. Spiral Knights forum
• For URLs without phrases just use the URL without any brackets. i.e. http://www.spiralknights.com

• For footnotes (the automatically numbered variety), we use a template that does the superscripting. See Template:Fn for instructions.
• For automatic page redirects, place a redirect link as the only content to the article: #REDIRECT [[article name]]

When you want to link to a category rather than having your page included in a category just put : in front of Category like this: [[:Category:Help]] or [[:Category:Help|Help Files]].

Please note that except for the first letter of the first word, the wiki is case sensitive when it comes to multiple word article names.
