Help talk:Links

Too much focus on RTE
As it is, this page only gives information about how to use the Rich Text Editor way of making links. That is not very helpful for teaching the simpler method of using brackets. I have known many new users who have no idea how to make links in the correct format simply because there is no help page to teach it. I suggest that at least some instructions for linking without RTE be re-added to this page. Gardimuer { ʈalk } 19:19, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suggest adding a sub-section under each section for source mode. Duskey ( talk ) 10:55, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

What is the best practice for linking to email address?
What is the best practice or best style for making a link to an email address? There are many ways to do it. Can they be shared? I don't want to put too many email contact info onto wiki pages as spam bots might troll for them as well. My address is Mark -at- Rauterkus dot com. But I could be [mailto:Mark@Rauterkus.com Mark's email adress]. Rauterkus 17:46, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I suggest using Special:EmailUser/Rauterkus. Mark  ( talk ) 18:35, October 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I now understand. I'll test below. Sweet. Thanks.

Linking to sections
Is there any way to link to "sections" on pages? I can't find it anywhere on Wikia Help. Could someone please tell me how to do it? I think there is a way...


 * Thanks!

Yes. Link a page as you normally would but put a number symbol (#) after the page name and type in the name of the section. For example, in the Links page, if you want to add a link to the Adding an Internal Link section, write "Links#Adding an Internal Link". --NejiHyuga900 (talk | contributions) "I am the Thunder Dragon!" 04:03, December 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * A semi-related question, but is it possible to create anchors within pages on Wikia? Normally you can just use the  template, however this does not appear to work on Wikia -- Haravikk 21:01, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Wikilinks
I am sure there is a specific format for internal links pointing to Wikipedia. Please state it. RHaworth 12:04, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Changing color
I think it should also be explained how to change the color of the link, besides the basic blue.  *Bereisgreat  ( shout! ) 15:34, June 30, 2011 (UTC)
