Linking
Internal Links are links to catagories and entries within the wiki. Use double brackets with the entry name.
Ex: Special:Prefences, Main Page.
External Links follow a URL to either an external website or an entry within the wikki. They can be labeled and use single brackets (see example):
Ex: [http://www.errantstory.com Errant Story] becomes Errant Story. (Note that external links are given that external linky icon-thing).
Buttons
Of course, you could just use the buttons provided with the default editing interface, but where's the fun in that?
