In any wiki there are many different types of links. These include internal links, external links to other websites and InterWiki links to other wikis, or other language areas of a wiki.
To create an internal link you place the title of the page in two square brackets. Once you have done this when you save the article the link will be set. If the page you linked to has information in it, the link will appear black. However if the linked page has no information it will appear red. Links to the same article appear as bold but not as a link.
The first letter of the links will automatically be capitalized. Spaces are converted into underscores (_). You can still use a underscore instead however this is not recommended.
