==Linking==
Linking to other articles is very easy. Just place two square brackets around the name of the article:
<nowiki>[[Wookie]]</nowiki>
You can get a little fancy and use different text. For example if you want the link to say "an article about wookies" instead of Wookie, you would use this syntax:
<nowiki>[[Wookie|an article about wookies]]</nowiki>
If you want to link to another website you can simply use the full URI (including the http). For example: http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie. But like an article link, you can use different text. The only difference is that you use only one set of square brackets and you use a space instead of a pipe ('|'). Example:
<nowiki>[http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie The coolest networking society ever]</nowiki>
This would give: [http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie The coolest networking society ever]
