# '''Internal Link''': A page in a wiki will often naturally direct readers to see another wiki page on a related subject. For example, here is a link to the [[Clicklaw Wikibooks Style Guide]], which is also useful because it tells you when bold and italics are used. To make an internal link click button #3. You will see <tt><nowiki>[[Link title]]</nowiki></tt>. Replace the words "<tt>Link title</tt> with the exact name of the page, i.e. <tt>Clicklaw Wikibooks Style Guide</tt>, and you're done.

You also need to either delete the words "<tt>link title</tt>" or replace them with the words you want your link read as. For example, if I wanted to link to the online help guide for the BC Court of Appeal I would click button #4, then replace "<tt>example.com</tt> with "<tt>www.courtofappealbc.ca</tt>, and I could either leave it be (which would show up as http://www.courtofappealbc.ca), or I could | # '''External Link''': Examples of external links include any link to a case on CanLII, any other website outside of wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca, or even a PDF or DOC file from somewhere online.
