	We can add links to our page to direct Wiki users to other pages, whether that be internally (staying on the Wiki) or externally (other websites). Internal links are a great way to '''supplement a page''' as they provide an easy way for a Wiki user to find out '''further information'''. As you will see from the image, each of the spells in the list are '''blue'''. Any text colored blue can be clicked on and will take the user to wherever the editor is directing them.

	=== Sub-heading Links ===		=== Sub-heading Links ===
			These are links which take you to one of the sub-headings of either the current page or any other page of the editors choosing. These links will once again appear as '''blue links'''. If I wanted to create a link to the '''images''' sub-heading of this page, I would simply add:

			* <nowiki>[[#Images]]</nowiki>

			We can change the name of this link in exactly the same way as described in the [[#Internal Links\|internal links]] section.

			* <nowiki>[[#Images\|the text I want to appear]]</nowiki>

			Finally, if an editor wishes to link to a certain section of a different page on the wiki:

			* <nowiki>[[White Mage#Spell List\|text I want to appear]]</nowiki>

			I would highly recommend adding "text I want to appear" as the link are quite unatractive on the eye, for example: [[New Editor Guide#Links]].
	=== External Links ===		=== External Links ===
			As the name suggests, these links take you to other websites. There is a couple of differences to internal links: only '''a single square bracket either side''' is necessary and we cannot link to particular sections of the sites we are linking to. We change the '''text I want to appear''' differently too. Rather than using the pipe symbol, this time we simply '''leave a space''' between the link and the text. Here's an example of how to do it, what it looks like without adding "text I want to appear" and another with the text:
⚫	=== Categorisation ===

			* <nowiki>[https://horizonxi.com/]</nowiki> - [https://horizonxi.com/]
			* <nowiki>[https://horizonxi.com/ https://horizonxi.com/]</nowiki> - [https://horizonxi.com/ text I want to appear]

			Whilst there is no rule against it, I usually consider it good practice to set the "text I want to appear" as the website you are linking to, so that wiki users can clearly see your link is an external one.

		⚫	== Categorisation ==
	We're coming towards the end editing our basic page. Before we finish and hit that '''save page''' button, we should ask ourselves "does this page belong to a category?" If we were making a page called "Bananas", it would make sense to add it to the category called "Fruit". In the world of HorizonXI, the job ability [[provoke]] would belong in the [[:Category:Job Abilities]]. It's really important to categorise Wiki pages as it not only makes it simple to find all the associated pages on the category page, it also unlocks some pretty advanced Wiki features later down the line.

	This will be our last action on our page before hitting that all important save button! Images aren't required on any page but they certainly help to '''break up a page''', make it '''more interesting''' and can provide a '''visual example''' of what you're trying to explain in the text. There's a couple of steps involved with adding an image to a page; first of all we need to add the code for an image to the page. Make sure you add this where you would like it to appear ie. if at the top of a page, in the very top line of your page code, below your paragraph about animals then below that paragraph etc.		This will be our last action on our page before hitting that all important save button!

	This page is fairly self-explanatory but we will cover it regardless. First of all select '''"Browse'''" under '''"Source File"'''. Here you can find your image and select it. Next, under '''File Description'''" the parameter "'''Destination Filename:'''" as it is (this is prefilled when we clicked the red link). Add a '''"Summary'''" if you wish. If this is your own image then feel free to add a description or leave it blank. Here on the HorizonXI Wiki we ask that if the image has been taken from in-game that you leave the summary "hxi image", so other editors are aware that this is a new image and not one from 20 years ago!

			=== Formatting an Image ===
	--- Finish this section. ---
			Wiki gives us quite a few ways in which we can format our image to suit our page. Each different way of formatting the image '''MUST''' be separated by a pipe symbol.
			* <nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|left]]</nowiki> - this ensures our image will appear on the '''left''' of our page. You can also set this to "'''middle or right'''".
			* <nowiki><nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|100x100px]]</nowiki> - this allows us to set the '''size of the image'''. By default Wiki will scale the image '''up or down''' to the '''smallest''' value set. For example, If the image itself is 400x400px and I set it to 100x1000px on my page, Wiki will display the image at 100x100px.
			* <nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|text that I want to appear whena user hovers over the image]]</nowiki> - As suggested, this text will appear when the user hovers over the image with their mouse.
			* <nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|thumb]]</nowiki> - puts the image inside a thumbnail.
			* <nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|thumb\|text to be displayed]]</nowiki> - this will then display the "text to be displayed" below the image, inside the thumbnail.
			* <nowiki>[[File:imagename.png\|link=pagename]]</nowiki> - turns the image into a clickable link. Replace "'''pagename'''" with the name of a page found on the wiki eg "White Magic". You can also add a full hyperlink here eg "link=https://horizonxi.com/"

	As long as there is a Wiki page of the same name as the text within the square brackets, your link will work. If you there '''isn't''' a page with this name, your page will create a '''red link''', which as we learnt earlier can be used to create that page. It's always worth bearing in mind that while links shouldn't be case sensitive, mediawiki doesn't always work correctly. For example, '''<nowiki>[[White Magic]]</nowiki>''' will work correctly whereas '''<nowiki>[[white magic]]</nowiki>''' will not. ~~As a rule of thumb I would always suggest writing a link out with capitals, which while being frustrating, is unfortunately necessary.

⚫	* <nowiki>[[~~Name~~ ~~Of Link~~\|text to be displayed]]</nowiki>

		⚫	* <nowiki>[[White Magic\|text to be displayed]]</nowiki>

			As you can see we have added a '''pipe symbol''' (a vertical line) '''after''' the name of our link. Any text that comes after this is the text that will be displayed. So in our example, the text displayed on our page would be '''"text to be displayed"'''. It will appear blue, remain clickable and take the user to the page named '''"White Magic"'''. This can be really useful because if we wish, we can turn whole sections of text into a link or shorten a really long page name.

			There is one small final aspect of internal links that needs covering. If we want to link to a '''category page''', we have to write our link ever so slightly different.

			* <nowiki>[[:Category:White Magic]]</nowiki>

			If you look closely, you can see that we have added a '''full-colon''' before the page name. Without this, we would be adding the page to that category, not what we're trying to achieve! You may also wish to add a pipe symbol when linking to category pages to hide the ":Category:" part of the link. [[#Categorisation\|Categorisation]] itself is covered a little further on in the guide.

Internal links are a great way to '''supplement a page''' as they provide an easy way for a Wiki user to find out '''further information'''.

			[[File:adding_links_1.png]]

			To add a link, simply surround text with two square brackets on either side, like so:
			* <nowiki>[[Cure]]</nowiki>
			* <nowiki>[[Protect]]</nowiki>
			* <nowiki>[[Regen]]</nowiki>

			We're coming towards the end editing our basic page. Before we finish and hit that '''save page''' button, we should ask ourselves "does this page belong to a category?" If we were making a page called "Bananas", it would make sense to add it to the category called "Fruit".

It's really important to categorise Wiki pages as it not only makes it simple to find all the associated pages on the category page, it also unlocks some pretty advanced Wiki features later down the line.

			Adding a page to a category is really easy. Simply add:
			<pre>[[Category:Name of Category]]</pre>

			With this code on a page, it will automatically be added to the "Name of Category" category when saved. You can add as many categories as you feel is necessary but do try to stick to relevant ones. If you forget to add a category don't worry, simply re-edit the page and add the category in. Finally to find a category page and your page on it, simply search for "Category:Name" and Wiki will take you to its page. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the list of pages contained within that category.

	Adding this to the ~~bottom~~ of a page ~~will~~ ~~make~~ the table of contents appear at the bottom. Add it to the middle to appear in the middle and so on. '''~~Remember~~''' to include <nowiki>__notoc__ </nowiki> to a page as ~~well~~ to prevent two tables being present.		Adding this to the very first line of a page ensures that the table of contents will appear at the top of the page. Adding this to the bottom of a page, after all other content will make the table appear at the bottom. Add it to the middle to appear in the middle and so on. It gives the editor the ability to choose where it should appear. Finally '''remember''' to include <nowiki>__notoc__ </nowiki> to a page using this template to prevent two tables being present.

	Headings are used to '''seperate different sections''' of a page. Each heading can be broken down into four further '''sub-headings'''. To create a heading or sub-heading, surround the heading title with a single '''equals ~~sign~~ (=)'''. Using two equal symbols on either side of the title creates a sub-heading. This can be taken as far as five equals symbols, as can be seen below.		Headings are used to '''seperate different sections''' of a page.
