Links

You will often want to make clickable links to other pages.

What it looks like What you type

Here's a link to a page named Official position. You can even say official positions and the link will show up correctly.

You can put formatting around a link. Example: Wikipedia.

The first letter will automatically be capitalized, so wikipedia goes to the same place as Wikipedia. Capitalization matters after the first letter. This is not the case with wiktionary, where every letter is case-sensitive - see apollo and Apollo as an example.

The weather in London is a page that doesn't exist yet. You can create it by clicking on the link.
