Here's how to connect pages.
Contents |
You can easily add links to the body of any page or biography.
Link to a website, page, blog, video, or photo anywhere on the Internet like this:
[http://youtube.com/watch?v=1siAozJOIJ0 here's a link to a YouTube video]
The link will appear like this: here's a link to a YouTube video
As you can see above, you simply enclose the URL in a single set of [brackets].
To add a description of the link just a leave a space and enter whatever text you want linked, e.g. "here's a link to a YouTube video" in the example above.
There are easy shortcuts for adding links to other profiles on WikiTree.
Let's say you want to link to a relative's Person Profile when you mention them in a bio. Simply enclose their WikiTree ID, a vertical "pipe" (the pipe is above the backslash on most keyboards), and their name inside a double set of brackets like this:
[[Franklin-1|Ben Franklin]]
On the final page it will appear like this: Ben Franklin
It's just as easy to link to profiles about the important pets, places, events, and other things in your family history.
Simply enclose the WikiTree ID, a vertical pipe, and the name of the page prefixed with "Space:" inside a double set of brackets like this:
[[Space:Edward D. Whitten's Model Ships|Ed Whitten's Model Ships]]
On the final page it will appear like this: Ed Whitten's Model Ships
If you haven't already created the page, the link will appear red and you can click on it to create it. Easy as pie!
Don't be afraid to experiment. Things are easy to change or change back on a wiki.
