More on internal links
We saw how to make internal links on Page 3 of this tutorial. But you can also change the appearance of internal links:
To use words other than the article title as the text of the link, you can use a pipe character "|"
For example, if you wanted to make a link to "Certified Public Accountant", but wanted it to say "CPA" you would write:
- [[Certified Public Accountant|CPA]]
- It would show as:
You can also add extra letters directly outside the double square brackets to change the link text. This is useful for plurals:

How do I link to external sites?
If you want to link to a site outside of WikiCPA, just type the full URL for the page you want to link to.
It is often better to have the link text show something more useful than the URL. You can do this with single square brackets.
The alternative text goes after the URL, with a space in between (not a pipe this time).
