Links, lines and spaces

Links

Links to other Wiki boards

To link to another wiki page you use the square brackets ~~~> [ . ] <~~~

There MUST be a space between any text within the brackets and the brackets themselves.
[This will not work ] - [ Neither will this]

[ This one works ] <~~~Placing your pointer here underlines the link.
Note - It will only take you to another wiki page if it has already been defined as a wiki page. A 'live' page link is blue.
See [ How to make a new wiki page ]


Links in clubs

Any links to wiki pages that you make within a club will remain within the club. No non-members will be able to view these pages.

In order to link to the Main Site wikis outside the club you must insert Main: before the wiki name, as in... [ Main: Wiki Start Page ], otherwise a new wiki will be defined within your club. Use Main to link outside from:- club wikis, disussion boards or the club members' page.

In order to link to a club wiki from outside the club, precede the wiki name with the club name and a colon
[ GoldToken: Wiki Start Page ]
Note that if you are not a member of the club, when you follow the link, you will be redirected to a main site wiki with the same name.

Links in messages and on games

Main site links will work in messages and games.
It is not possible to send a club link.

To link to club pages from a message or game:
Go to the page you wish to link to and copy the complete http//:address (At the top of the page in your browser's address bar).
Go to your message/game and paste the link.

Example
This is the http link for this page:
http://www.goldtoken.com/games/wiki?wiki=Spaces,%20lines%20and%20links;ref=Getting%20Started

Note: This method can also be used for sending a precise game position... eg move 24
(The game# takes you to the most recent position).
This is Game #1234567
This is move 10 in that game - http://www.goldtoken.com/games/play?g=1234567;v=19

  • Longer links that already contain the forward slash after the main part (.com, .org, .net etc) do not need another at the end.

Lines

Placing three or more dashes at the beginning of a line, with nothing else on the line, will generate a complete unbroken horizontal line.
