1. Highlight the word(s) that will later on make up the link.

2.Click the "Insert Link" symbol in the toolbar.

2. A dialog window will appear. In the option, ”Define the wiki page for the link:” type the nameof the desired article (search for an existing article by typing its title). After you find the respective article, insert a "#". The "#" will show all the headings within the wiki article. Choose the respective heading and click on "OK".

3. Successfully linked words will appear in blue color whereas links without a valid target will appear in red color.

4. Make sure to save your changes by clicking "Save page" at the bottom of the page.
