To link to another page in the wiki, use double square brackets around the name, like: <code><nowiki>[[Page Name]]</nowiki></code>. If you want to display alternate text in the link, put a pipe character "|" after the name, like so: <code><nowiki>[[Page Name|my link to a wiki page]]</nowiki></code>. External links use single brackets, like <code><nowiki>[http://www.example.com/]</nowiki></code>. To use alternate text with an external link, put a space between the URL and the text: <code><nowiki>[http://www.example.com/ See here.]</nowiki></code>

Quotes use the quote template, like this: {{tl|quote|quote text|author|work name}} -- but anything after the quote text is optional. So you can put in the full version like {{tl|quote|Now is the winter of our discontent.|Shakespeare|Richard III}}, or go with something really short like {{tl|quote| Here's Johnny! }}.


And finally, if you need to mark an spoiler, put it in a spoiler template, like: <code><nowiki>At the end of [[Citizen Kane]], we find out that {{spoiler| Rosebud is the name of his sled}}.''</nowiki></code><ref>This trope is called [[It Was His Sled]], since everyone has known the spoiler ending for like 50 years already.</ref>
