  12. Linking Pages • To link to a page outside the KB, use single brace [url text (optional)] • To link to a page inside the KB, use double braces [[page]] You type: [[Main Page]] You link to the Main Page of the Wiki • To create a link to the Main Page, but change name of this link, create a piped link You type: [[Main page|click here]] You link to the Main Page, but the link will be named “click here”

Watchers will receive this with notification and it’s helpful when looking at page history/revisions. • Edit page directly to add value to a subject. Use the Discussion Tab to post comments or questions (don’t forget to sign comments: ~~~~)
