You can create links to other Citizendium pages by simply putting double square brackets around the name of the page. For example:  
|class="wizard-tab first" style="width:30%"|[[{{help location}}|I need help as an author]]
* To link to the Dog page you put <nowiki>[[Dog]]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [[Dog]]
|class="wizard-tab" style="width:30%"|[[{{help location}}/Editor|I need help as an Editor]]
* To link to the World of Warcraft page you put <nowiki>[[World of Warcraft]]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [[World of Warcraft]]
|class="wizard-tab" style="width:30%"|[[{{help location}}/Constable|I need help as a Constable]]
These are often referred to as "wiki links" to distinguish them from hyperlinks to an external website.
|class="wizard-tab last"|<small>[[User_talk:Chris Key|Leave Feedback]]</small>

You can create a hyperlink to an external website by putting single square brackets around the URL of the website. For example:
|colspan=4 style="padding:0; font-size:0.9em; background:#eee; border-style:solid; border-width:0 1px 1px; border-color:#aaa; -moz-border-radius:0 0 8px 8px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:8px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:8px;"|
* To link to Google page you put <nowiki>[http://www.google.com]</nowiki> which will produce this link: [http://www.google.com]
<p style="padding:0.75em 0.75em 0; margin:0; text-align:left; color:#555;">

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]
This is the preferred format for links in the "External Links" subpage.
