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).
You can insert canon-specific links to the Clavis database. The easiest way is to copy&paste the URL from your browser. Note that "context" refers to how many entries before and after the canon are displayed. The key is part of the URL and also a good link name, so insert a space and the key at the end. See no. 6 below.

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:

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