Link to web site

From Minnewiki

While you're adding or editing pages in the Minnesota Music Wiki, you'll want to link to other pages that have information relating to or supporting the subject you're covering.

Use the editing bar

Within the Minnesota Music Wiki, you can use the external link button above the edit box:

Click on it and [http://www.example.com link title] will appear. Simply grab the full Web site url in the address bar. For instance, if you wanted to link to Local Music with Chris Roberts, you'd take the url from the address bar (http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/programs/local_music_with_chris_roberts/) and the show title (Local Music with Chris Roberts) and place it between the brackets. It looks like this in the editing box:

[http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/programs/local_music_with_chris_roberts/ Local Music with Chris Roberts]

and acts like this in the published page: Local Music with Chris Roberts

When to link to outside Web sites

Consider the source. Official sites, reliable media sources and other Wikis are good external links. Include links to stable Web sites that served as sources for the article. If you're directing people to a particular media file, link to the main page where the file is contained so there is context for the reader once they've left the Minnesota Music Wiki site. Check your published page to be sure that you've created a link that works. Too many links without context makes a page less informative as it is difficult to read.
