Referencing Pages          
  
   
 


Pages are referenced by placing square brackets around text

[a page]

The text then becomes a link to a page of the same name. If the text to be displayed is not the same as the link then the text and page should be separated by a vertical line

[some text|a page]

In OpenForum pages can be organised hierarchically. A page can have any number of child pages. To link to a child page, the parent page and child page are given as the link separated by a slash

[parent page/child page]

The page links are always relative to the root of the wiki. A preceding slash is ignored.


If a page link does not exist then the link will be displayed as an edit link. Using the standard templates, the link will be shown in red with an edit icon:

this page does not exist

Clicking on the link will display an edit page.

You can create new pages from the standard Action menu by selecting 'Add New Page' which will create a new page relative to the root of the wiki, or 'Add New Child Page' which will create a new page relative to the page you are on.
