Combining the methods in previous notes:
The wikitext:
The quick brown [[fox]] jumped over the lazy [[canis|dog]].
Will display as:
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
With the words "fox" and "dog" highlighted as links. The first link
will
lead to a page titled "Fox" [the same as the displayed text]; the second
will lead to a page titled "Canis" [different from the displayed text; this
is the function of the "pipe" character in the second link's wikitext].
You could pronounce "[[" as "link to" and "|" as
"display as" to help
remember how this works.

[[fox]] will become a link to the article "fox"; [[dog]] a link to the
article "dog". I recommend you create a local sandbox (or use the
sandbox on Wikipedia) to experiment with this if you have any further
difficulties.

I have read the documentaion on linking but am
still confused. If I'm editing
a page and want to link the the next word in the text, let's say the word
'sentance' as a link to another page in my wiki, could some one please show
me a simple example of how to do that? What is the code that would be placed
on the current page (the one being edited) and how would one link the word in
this example "sentence" to an already existing page.
