A video tutorial about the basics of wiki markup, including creating links. Wikilinks are one of the key components of Wikipedia. Wikilinks connect pages to each other, tying the whole encyclopedia together. In general, wikilinks should be added for the first mention of important or unfamiliar concepts in an article.
The first term inside the brackets is the title of the page you would be taken to (the link target), and anything after the vertical bar is what the link looks like for the reader on the original page (the link label). For example: [[a | b]] appears as "b" but links to page "a", thus: b.
Permalinks are usually denoted by text link (i.e. "Permalink" or "Link to this Entry"), but sometimes a symbol may be used. The most common symbol used is the hash sign, or #. However, certain websites employ their own symbol to represent a permalink such as an asterisk , a dash, a pilcrow (¶), a section sign (§), or a unique icon.
For each link the page in which it is found is listed, along with the exact target URL of the link on that page. The results are ordered alphabetically by target URL. (For very large or specialized external link searches, one may also use SQL queries against the externallinks table at Quarry .)
In web development, a postback is the exchange of information between servers to report a user's action on a website, network, or app. Technically speaking, a postback is an HTTP POST to the same page that the form is on. In other words, the contents of the form are POSTed back to the same URL as the form. [1]
A permanent link to the present version of the page can be accessed by clicking "Permanent link" under "tools" on the left side of the page. The version ID is unique across all pages; the title parameter here has no effect, and can be omitted.
Meta refresh is a method of instructing a web browser to automatically refresh the current web page or frame after a given time interval, using an HTML meta element with the http-equiv parameter set to "refresh" and a content parameter giving the time interval in seconds.
When visiting a web page, the referrer or referring page is the URL of the previous web page from which a link was followed. More generally, a referrer is the URL of a previous item which led to this request. For example, the referrer for an image is generally the HTML page on which it is to be displayed.
