Have you seen the many links on the site? Coloured text that links you to somewhere else? They are the veins of the site, interconnecting everything with everyone. They are made by you unless a nice Archives scribe edits your profile for you.
They are made in the following way:

When you have a character or a guild appearing in your text, type these brackets [[]] around the name and a link is automatically created.
So if you want to link to the guild “Shield of the Dawn”, you type [[Shield of the Dawn]]. The clickable link will take anyone to the correct guild. This is why it is important to use the avatar names (the ones floating above your head in game) on the Archives!

What if you have a lame avatar name and want to use your in game character name in the text?
Lets say that your avatar name is “Twinkrofl”, but you call yourself “Ruther Ironcrest” in game. Type as normal [[Twinkrofl but then include a | and type your in game name. End with the ]]s. Example: [[Twinkrofl|Ruther Ironcrest]] Now the name “Ruther Ironcrest” appears, but it links to “Twinkrofls” character profile. The rule is: What appears before the | is the regular link. What appears after the | is what the reader will see.

Want to link to an external site?
Great! Simply use the procedure above, bracketing the URL. Examples: [[http://citywatch.guildportal.com]] or [[http://citywatch.guildportal.com| Go to my homepage now!]]

Do the brackets appear when you link somewhere?
Certain areas of the Archives are not created with the intention of having links in them. This especially applies to titles.

Did you know you can interlink your stories to eachother seamlessly by using brackets?
Put this line:
[[title or URL here|Something else here]]
in a story.
Now a link will appear. Clicking it will take people automatically to the first URL, name or story you put inside the first part of the [[ | ]]. You can do this for anything.
What appears in the first part of the brackets " [[ in here |" defines where the link takes you, and what appears in the second part "| here]] defines what is displayed. You can do this for names too! Try this in one of your stories: [[Alabast|The greatest hero of all time!]]
NB! Make sure that there is no space inbetween!
Correct: [[Adnaw|Troll]]
Wrong: [[Adnaw | Troll]]

And most importantly: Afraid to make links since you don’t know if you spelled the name correctly, or even worse, the guild or character doesn’t have a profile yet?
(First of all, invite them here!) Don’t worry! The system is foolproof! When creating a link to an item that doesn’t exist yet, the link works as a Search button. So if you create a link to “Knights of Doom” and they guild hasn’t registered yet, the link will result in a Search result page for “Knights of Doom”.

Now that you know of this: Tell your friends and start linking each others stories and profiles with each other! Its even possible to make an Open RP with this system!

Fabolous examples of entries that utilize linking:
Ambline have truly mastered how to link stories to eachother. Let her story inspire you to do the same!

Cerelia, like many others, shows how to put brackets everywhere in her profile. Putting your friends in brackets makes more people click their names and visit their profiles.

This story by Overon shows how you can truly tie your friends into your stories. Well done!
