'''Here's how to add links:'''

== Internal ==

To add a link to an internal page (in the wiki), use these link styles:

For an '''article''' page:[[This one normal page]]
For a page in another '''[[Help:Namespaces|namespace]]''':[[Namespace:Page name]]
However, links to '''[[Help:Image|images]]''' and '''categories''' (without using the image on the page, or adding the page to the category) must be linked like this:[[:Image:Image name]] or [[:Category:Category name]]

== External ==

To link to a common external page, like the official Homestar Runner website, use a namespace-style link with one of the [[Help:Namespaces|special prefixes]].

To link externally (outside the wiki), use one bracket pair instead of two, as well as an absolute path:

<pre>[http://www.website.com/]</pre>

To link to someone's email, use the

mailto:

prefix:

<pre>[mailto:joe_person@email.com]</pre>

== Appearances ==

To change the appearance of an internal or familiar link, use the vertical line symbol:

<pre>[[This page|This neat page]]</pre>

To change the appearance of an external link or an email link, insert a space after the link:

<pre>[http://www.website.com/ A neat site]</pre>

In a link with a namespace (or an interwiki link), the prefix is removable with the pipe (

|

) symbol:

<pre>[[Wikipedia:Main Page|]]</pre>

In a link with trailing parentheses (

()

), the parentheses, as well as the words inside them, are removable with the pipe (

|

) symbol:

<pre>[[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|]]</pre>

== Link colors ==

If you see a [[Main Page|deep blue]] link, it means it's a link within this wiki.
If you see a [[Main Page|light blue]] link, it means it's an interwiki link.
If you see a [[Not a real page|red]] link, it means it's not a real wiki page, or it's not a correctly typed link.

== Link symbols ==

Figuring out what the symbols next to some links mean. If you don't see little icons next to the links below, then your browser might not support CSS properties for links. Go to [[Help:Icon]] to see them.

If you see a [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php light blue] link with an arrow next to it, it means it's an external link.
If you see a [https://homestarrunner.com/index.html light blue] link with the Homestar Runner logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Homestar Runner website.
If you see a [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/index.html light blue] link with the Thorax logo next to it, it means it's a link to the Thorax Corporation website.
If you see a [https://old.homestarrunner.com/videlectrix/index.html light blue] link with a grey Homestar Runner logo next to it, it means it's a link to the old.homestarrunner.com website.
If you see a [http://www.youtube.com/ light blue] link with the YouTube logo next to it, it means it's a link to a YouTube video.
