Linking?

Linking one page to another

Linking?

I've gotten the hang of linking to some degree, but am having issues linking some of the games mentioned in the "Improv Games" section to the other articles in the "Legends and Lore" section.

A little help?

I've gone through and changed some of them to link to the general improv-games page. I thought this would be easier than having and maintaining a separate page for each game. The only thing I don't know and haven't tried yet is to see if you can link to a specific position in a page, i.e., improv-games#party-quirks. I don't know if there's support for that on the site.

'K, here's how it works.

In the page you want to link to, for example "Party Quirks" on the Improv Games page, you would create an "anchor" like this on the Improv Games page:

[[# party-quirks]] Party Quirks

Bear in mind that there is a space between the pound sign (#) and the name of the anchor.

To link to it from another page you would do:

[[[improv-games#party-quirks |Party Quirks]]]

Here is an example. I have anchored all the games on the improv page thus far created, and I'll change links on the rest of the wiki as I encounter them.

I like to use the "page link wizard" button to find the right page. When you click it and start to type the page name, a list of created pages shows up that you can then choose from to make sure you have a working link.

You'll have to create the page first though if you want the wizard to locate what you're looking for.
