How to...

Add a link

Add a link to an external (outside IMSLP) site

Use the format: [http://URL_to_link_to "name of link"]

i.e. [http://go_nowhere.com go nowhere] will include the link go nowhere

The link must open with the bracket [ then contain the complete link URL, including the http:// and a space before the text to be used as the name of the link. Finally, the link must be closed with the ] bracket.

Add a link to an internal site (within IMSLP)

Use the format: [[title of IMSLP link page|name of link]]

i.e. [[Public domain|Informations about 'public domain']] will be shown as Information about 'public domain'.

As shown above, the link must open with double brackets [[, and include the title of the IMSLP page you want to link to. The vertical line | (also called the pipe after a similar construction in *nix) is optional: when present, the text after the vertical line is used as the name of the link; when absent, the title of the page itself is used as the name of the link. Don't forget the closing brackets ]] at the end!
