There is a very complete help here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents
This site only gives very basic advice for very basic issues.


Insert links

Inserting external links is easy:

  • If you simply type (or copy&paste) a URL, this will create a link. Easy!
  • The URL has to start with https:// - if not, there will be no link see example no. 2 below.
  • If you place the URL between square brackets, the link will have a running number as its name (see example no. 3).
  • If you want the link to have a link text (so the ugly URL is no immediately visible), enter a space after the URL (no. 4).
  • If you forget the space, your link name will be ignored (example no. 5).

Internal links

  • Internal links are links within this Clavis Wiki, e.g. from the description to one collection to that of another one.
  • Internal links are enclosed in double (!) square brackets, with the optional link text separate with a "|" (no space needed). If no site exists, placing a term between double square brackets will create a page of that name.

Examples:

  1. https://www.mgh.de/de results in: https://www.mgh.de/de
  2. www.mgh.de results in: www.mgh.de
  3. [https://www.mgh.de/de] and [https://www.dmgh.de/] results in: [1] and [2]
  4. [https://www.mgh.de/de MGH] results in: MGH
  5. [[The Dionysiana|The ''Dionysiana'']] results in: The Dionysiana (internal link)
