+WikiLinks provide easy linking between pages of the wiki. To create a
+[[WikiLink]], just put the name of the page to link to in double brackets.
+For example `\[[WikiLink]]`.
+
+If you ever need to write something like `\[[WikiLink]]` without creating a
+wikilink, just prefix it with a `\`, like `\\[[WikiLink]]`.
+
+There are some special [[SubPage/LinkingRules]] that come into play when
+linking between [[SubPages|SubPage]].
+
+WikiLinks are matched with page names in a case-insensitive manner, so you
+don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise
+links at the start of a sentence, and so on.
+
+It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the page
+name as the link text. For example `\[[foo_bar|SandBox]]` links to the SandBox
+page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]].
+
+To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like
+`\[[WikiLink#foo]]` .
+
+If the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will
+be displayed inline on the page.
+

+
+You can also put an url in a WikiLink, to link to an external page.
+Email addresses can also be used to generate a mailto link.
