* To use the edit bar, first highlight the word(s) you want to be a link. Then, click the chain link icon above the edit bar. This allows you to decide what article you want to link to and what text you want to display.  
* You can also simply put two square brackets around the word(s), e.g. <nowiki>[[Saints]]</nowiki>. To change the displayed text, include a vertical bar | followed by the text to be displayed, e.g. <nowiki>[[Saintsl|the Saints]]</nowiki> becomes [[Forrestal|the Saints]], linking to the page "Staints."
