What you always have dreamed of (for your paper notes) - in a wiki it becomes true: fast links!

If you enclose a word in double brackets (like <code><nowiki>[[word]]</nowiki></code>), you get a link, hopefully to an already existing page - if not, it appears red, and you just created the opportunity for your co-authors to add the details. If you want a text differing from the link target, you can place it after a pipe symbol <tt>[[word|different text]]</tt>. ~~The same syntax can~~ be ~~used for external~~ links like <tt>[~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org|English Wikipedia]</tt> ~~for a link~~ to ~~the~~ [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org English Wikipedia].

If you enclose a word in double brackets (like <code><nowiki>[[word]]</nowiki></code>), you get an internal link, hopefully to an already existing page - if not, it appears red, and you just created the opportunity for your co-authors to add the details. If you want a text differing from the link target, you can place it after a pipe symbol: <code><nowiki>[[word|different text]]</nowiki></code>.

For external links, simply place the URL into the text, certain protocols (http, https, mailto) will be autiomatically transformed into links. For alternate text, use single brackets, start with the URL and after a space enter the title, like so <code><nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org English Wikipedia]</nowiki></code> which renders to [https://en.wikipedia.org English Wikipedia].
