There are five types of hypertext links in Knowledge Management system:
- Internal links to other pages in the same Knowledge Management system (commonly called "Knowledge Management system links")
- External links to pages at other websites
- External links to internal pages in the same Knowledge Management system
- Interlanguage links to other Knowledge Management systems registered as different language versions of the current Knowledge Management system
Please note that this list does not include category links and file links, which are used to place pages into categories and display images or other media files, respectively.
Internal links
| Description | You type | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Internal link | [[Main Page]] |
Main Page |
| Piped link | [[Help:Editing pages|editing help]] [[Help:Editing pages#Preview|previewing]] |
|
[[User:John Doe|]] The pipe trick involves less typing for editors, but is potentially confusing to readers, as seen in these DynamicPageList examples. |

| Redirect | #REDIRECT [[Main Page]] Should be the first and only line on the page. |

Doing this would allow for |

| Setting an anchor in a section heading | ==<span id="Alternate Section Title"></span>Section heading== Note the placement. This must be a "span" tag, not a "div". (Such anchors allow sections to be retitled without breaking incoming links.) |

| Link to the current page's talk page | [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|Discussion]]

| Visible link to a category page | [[:Category:Help]] |
|
| Visible link to an image or media file | [[:File:Example.jpg]] [[:File:Example.jpg|this example]] [[Media:Example.jpg]] Without the leading colon on the "File:" examples, the images would actually be displayed. See also Help:Images The |

| Link to a page specific to each reader (user page, etc.) | [[Special:MyPage]] [[Special:MyTalk]] [[Special:Preferences]] |
External links
To create an external link, usually to a page at a different website, enclose the URL followed by space and the link text in single square brackets (see examples below). When you save or preview the page, you will see a link rendered slightly differently than an internalKnowledge Management system link. It may be a different color and/or be followed by an arrow icon to show that it may lead to another site.
| Description | You type | You get |
|---|---|---|
| External link with specified link text | [https://enterpriseplus.tools E+] |
enterpriseplus.tools |
| Numbered external link | [https://enterpriseplus.tools] This is what happens if you omit the link text. Multiple links of this type on the same page are numbered sequentially. |

| External links with file-type icons | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.avi video] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ogg sound] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.pdf document] See External link iconsfor currently supported icons and extensions. Note that thisKnowledge Management systemis not set up to use such icons. |

External links to internal pages
To add a link to a page on the sameKnowledge Management systemusing URL query parameters, you may need to use external link syntax.
| Description | You type | You get |
|---|---|---|
| External link to the current page's edit page | [https://www.enterpriseplus.tools/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page]
[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit}} Edit this page]
|
|
| External link to the current page's edit page, and styled to look like an internal link | <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.enterpriseplu.tools/index.php?title=Help:Links&action=edit Edit this page]</span> The plainlinks class can be used in cases where you want an external link to look like an internal one, by suppressing the icon that normally appears after it. |
[Help:Links&action=edit | Edit this page] |
Limits
An internal Knowledge Management system link is limited by maximum page title size.
