'''External | An '''External link''' in the Citizendium [[website]] is a hyper-link pointing to a specific page or document in some other online website. Clicking on an external link connects you to that other website document and page. Formatting an external link is done by enclosing the url of the other website document or page in brackets and including an appropriate title for the document or page. The title must be separated from the url by a single space. Thus, the format coding is simply '''[url title]'''. | ||
For example, placing this on the edit page of an article or a talk page '''<nowiki>[http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/organization.html EPA Organizational Structure]</nowiki>''' will display in the main article page or talk page as [http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/organization.html EPA Organizational Structure]. Note that the url in this example is <font color=blue><nowiki>http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/organization.html</nowiki></font> and the title is <font color=blue>EPA Organizational Structure</font> and that they are separated by a single blank space. | |||

An External link in the Citizendium website is a hyper-link pointing to a specific page or document in some other online website. Clicking on an external link connects you to that other website document and page. Formatting an external link is done by enclosing the url of the other website document or page in brackets and including an appropriate title for the document or page. The title must be separated from the url by a single space. Thus, the format coding is simply [url title].
For example, placing this on the edit page of an article or a talk page [http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/organization.html EPA Organizational Structure] will display in the main article page or talk page as EPA Organizational Structure. Note that the url in this example is http://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/organization.html and the title is EPA Organizational Structure and that they are separated by a single blank space.
