Wikis provide the opportunity to link a word in your current article with any other existing wiki article. Usually the word(s) you link match the linked article ´s title . Especially descriptive texts using a lot more definable words use these links.
Note: To link a word with another article be sure this article really exists. If it does not exist the link will be displayed red. This is also a way to create a new article (see Edit Articles).
1. Highlight the word(s) that will build the link later and click the Edit/Insert Link symbol in the toolbar.
