How do I add links to other articles?
When contributing, please use links to other pages by clicking on [Anchor] icon above the big edit box. When prompted for [Anchor Name] enter the title of the page you want to link to. You can also [Disable rich editor] and add links using [[How to choose a career|how to choose a career]]. This links to page titled “How to choose a career” while the text displayed is “how to choose a career”. However in Wikis first character of interwiki link is case independent so we could get the same effect by [[how to choose a career]]. You should also create links to pages which do not exist. Such links appear red, and when clicked by a member prompt to create the page. Non existent pages can be found in [Wanted pages] in navigation section.
