How to create a page with an internal link<\/h3>\n

MediaWiki is a software that is designed for a different purpose than a typical website. Because of this, creating pages is done differently than other web creation software. To create a page in media wiki, you can add an internal link within an existing page. When ever an internal link is created within a page, the page is automatically created in the site. The following instructions will explain how to create a page in Media Wiki.<\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/div>\n

    Click a Wiki page to add the internal link.<\/strong>The following internal link will be added in this example. <\/p>\n

    [[My HTML Wiki]]<\/pre>\n
     The Internal link that is created in a page will automatically create a page with the name you created for the internal link. In this case, the My HTML wiki link was created. this makes a page with the following url:<\/p>\n
    https:\/\/yourwebsite.com\/index.php?title=My_HTML_wiki<\/pre>\n
    Save the changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
     
    <\/p><\/li>\n

    <\/p><\/li>\n
