Generally on wikis that use the Mediawiki software (like e.g. Wikipedia) you create external links like this: {{Ic|<nowiki>[https://wikipedia.org Wikipedia]</nowiki>}} and inthernal links like this {{Ic|<nowiki>[[Main Page|link to main page]]</nowiki>}}.

We use {{Ic|<nowiki>{{Internal Link |source=Main Page |link-name=link to main page]]</nowiki>}}. This allows the link also to work on translated pages.

And we should usually link to basic guides/articles about the page, so e.g. if an article mentions the {{Internal Link |source=What is the Fediverse? |link-name=Fediverse}} we create a link like this {{Ic|<nowiki>{{Internal Link |source=What is the Fediverse? |link-name=Fediverse}}</nowiki>}}.<br>
And we should usually link to basic guides/articles about the page, so e.g. if an article mentions the {{Internal Link |target=What is the Fediverse? |link-name=Fediverse}} we create a link like this {{Ic|<nowiki>{{Internal Link |target=What is the Fediverse? |link-name=Fediverse}}</nowiki>}}.<br>
Only if the advanced article (if even two articles exist) is more relevant we link e.g. to {{Internal Link |source=Hubzilla |link-name=Hubzilla}} instead of {{Internal Link |source=What is Hubzilla? |link-name=What is Hubzilla?}}.
