Links are important in Galbijim articles.
Internal links
One of the things that makes Galbijim useful (and addictive) is extensive cross-listing by internal links. These easily-created links allow users to access information related to the article they're reading.
When to link
The easiest way to learn when to link is to look at Galbijim articles for examples. If you're trying to decide whether to make a link or not, ask yourself "If I were reading this article, would the link be useful to me?"
How to link
When you want to make a link to another Galbijim page (called a wiki link) you have to put it in double square brackets, like this:
- [[Sandbox]]
For example, if you want to make a link to, say, the Galbijim:Contributing to Galbijim page, it would be:
- [[Galbijim:Contributing to Galbijim]]
(The 'Galbijim:' part signifies that the target page is in the Galbijim|namespace, rather than the Main namespace, where normal articles go.)
Also remember that in Galbijim the links are created automatically,
so if you put double square brackets around a word, it becomes a link, and because of that you have to be careful about Disambiguation.
If you want to use words other than the article title as the text of the link, you can do so by adding the pipe "|" divider (SHIFT + BACKSLASH on English-layout and other keyboards) followed by the alternative name.
Categories
You can also put the article in a category with others in a related topic. Just type [[Category:]], and put the name of the category between the colon and the brackets.
To make a link to a Category page (for example, as a reference for further research), simply put a colon (:) at the beginning of the "Category" tag, like this:
- [[:Category:Korea]]
The above code would produce the following:
- Category:Korea
It is very important to put in the correct categories so that other people can easily find your work. The best way to find which categories to put in is to look at pages on similar subjects, and check which categories they use. For example if you write an article about a type of tree, you may look at an article on another type of tree to see which categories could be appropriate.
For more information regarding categories and categorization, refer to the Categories page.
