The Midgard wiki supports several different formats for linking between pages in the wiki and external resources.
Linking inside the wiki
Linking to pages within the wiki is done by surrounding the page's title with square brackets. Example:
There is more information in [Wiki linking formats]
This will display the following text:
There is more information in Wiki linking formats
If you want to use a different text for your link than the actual wiki page title, you can do this by separating the wiki page name and link label with a pipe. Example:
There is more information in [Wiki linking formats|linking instructions]
This will display the following text:
There is more information in linking instructions
Linking outside
Regular web links outside the wiki use the Markdown linking syntax:
If you want to link to a page in Wikipedia, this can be done using the following syntax:
See the Wikipedia article on [wiki: Midgard] for more information
This will display the following text:
See the Wikipedia article on Midgard for more information
Adding screenshots or images
If you want to add a screenshot or some other image to your wiki page, upload it to a org.routamc.photostream folder on this site, and then link to it using the following syntax:
[photo: 48b333e8632f11db9ba59df2ad380c320c32]
You can get the image GUID easily from the PermaLink.
The displayed image will look like the following:
Note: You can also use the Photo Flash notes feature to annotate interesting parts of the screenshot.
Special elements
Abbreviations like CSS can be written using the following syntax:
Repligard uses the [abbr: XML - Extensible Mark-up Language] format for its replication files
This will display the following:
Repligard uses the XML format for its replication files
Notes, warnings and tips can be added using the following syntax:
[note: This useful feature can be used in several different places]
[warning: Call mgd_get_social_life only when you don't have any pressing projects going on]
This will display the following:
More linking options are planned for addition.
How to prevent linking
In some cases you want to add [...] blocks without the wiki linking to it. You do this by adding two exclamation marks (!!) into the brackets:
[!!don't link]
will display:
[don't link]
