- | The most common way to link to files on the wiki
| + | |
- | uses the [[template:link]].
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | # Go to the description page of the already uploaded file.
| + | |
- | # Copy the title of the description page. It will be something like: <code>Image:Demo Sunflower.png</code>
| + | |
- | # Find the wiki page where you wish to place a link to this file
| + | |
- | # Edit the page
| + | |
- | # Add the text: <code><nowiki>{{link|</nowiki></code>
| + | |
- | # Paste in the title of the description page. Something like: <code>Image:Demo Sunflower.png</code>
| + | |
- | # Finish of with: <code>}}</code>
| + | |
- | # You should end up with something like: <code><nowiki>{{link|Image:Demo Sunflower.png}}</nowiki></code>
| + | |
- | # Save your changes.
| + | |
- | # You should see the link to your page.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | As with any wiki page you can further format your text. For instance by adding a <code>*</code>
| + | |
- | to the start of your line so that it becomes a bulleted line by itself.
| + | |

- | See [[template:link]] for options, including changing the text of the link.
