You can create links to other Citizendium pages by simply putting double square brackets around the name of the page. For example:
|}
* To link to the Dog page you put <nowiki>[[Dog]]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [[Dog]]
* To link to the World of Warcraft page you put <nowiki>[[World of Warcraft]]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [[World of Warcraft]]


You can create a link to an external website by putting single square brackets around the URL of the website. For example:
|}
* To link to Google page you put <nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [http://www.google.com]
 
If you wish to make that external link have a more descriptive link, put a space after the URL and type the text of the link before the closing square bracket. For example:
* To link to Google page you put <nowiki>[http://www.google.com Google's homepage]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [http://www.google.com Google's homepage]
