Transcript for How to link between wiki pages (1st attempt)

So how do you link from one page to another on the Wiki?

Well, the simplest way to do this is to

just go into the page to edit it,

(Click on the edit link)

Scroll down the page a bit so you can see the wiki markup

and click in the page where you want your wiki link to be

and then type an open square bracket

and then just type the name of the page you want to go to...

So I know there's a page called

"Screencast example"

and then I type a closing square bracket

and then I hit 'save'.

Before I do that, I select 'Minor change'' because it's only a small change.

Save the page,

and then you see the link here.

Click on the link and we go to the page.

The really good thing about this way of linking from page to page

is that if I actually change the name of the page

to "A screencasting example"...

and then go back to the page we were linking from,

you can see that the link text has actually changed.

So this really saves you a lot of time and hassle.

Now, this won't happen if you simply grab the address from the address bar

and put that in as the link.

Sure, it'll get you to the page,

but if you change the name of the page, you won't get this extra benefit.

So it's best to do it by typing the name of the page, with square brackets around it.
