Special internal links

Jargon Guides
Scripting shortcuts have been developed in wikis which allow links to content outside the wiki to appear in wiki pages as internal links instead of external links. These are called special internal links. In DP Wiki, these special internal links can be used to link to resources that are outside the DP Wiki, but still within the larger DP information system, and to PG e-texts.
Examples of special internal links in DP Wiki would include:
- Link to PM a DPer: [[pm:36252|kraester]] produces kraester
- Link to Formatting Guidelines: [[dp:faq/document.php|Formatting Guidelines]] produces Formatting Guidelines
- Link to P2 home page: [[round:P2]] produces round:P2
- Link to PG e-text: [[etext:20437|e-text: 20437]] produces e-text: 20437
For more details about creating special links on wiki pages, see Linking to DP content housed outside DP Wiki and the creating links section of the Editing help page.
