Examples of Internal Linking wikicodes
Simple Internal Link
Simple Internal links have two brackets and only the namespace and page name, like this Talk:Wikidweb.com (wikicode is [[Talk:Wikidweb.com]])
Piped Link (Internal Only)
Internal links utilizing link text require that the namespace/page name be separated from the link text with the "| (pipe)" separator character, unlike external links which use a space as a separator, like this Wikidweb whatever (your link text can be different from the target, like with external links, wikicode is [[Talk:Wikidweb.com| Wikidweb whatever]]) and regular links to listing pages have no namespace, Wikidweb.com ([[Wikidweb.com]]) or Wikidweb's listing page ([[Wikidweb.com | Wikidweb's listing page]])
Interwiki Linking
To link to a category page to another category page, you need to use the syntax from the Interwiki Linking scheme. Preceed the Category namespace with a colon: Greek Islands GR ([[:Category:Greek Islands GR|]]). This example uses the "Pipe Trick" (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Piped_link#Automatic_conversion_of_the_wikitext_.28pipe_trick.29|). This separates the page name from the namespace without having to repeat the page name after the "pipe".
