Stock car racing:External links

External links are foundational to a wiki. They let your readers click from one page to another — and thus explore your content easily. It's such a central part of wikis that the process of creating links is also known as wikification.

Make sure that all your pages have links to other pages on your wiki. However, not all links on a page need to go to other pages.

Using 's visual editors

 * Begin by highlighting the text you want to link.
 * Then click on the [[File:Link button.png]] button on the toolbar.
 * A window will pop up which will allow you to create links.
 * In our classic rich-text editor, this window gives you two options for linking: an internal link or an external link. Internal links are pages within the wiki (or to another Fandom wiki). External links are to pages outside of Fandom. Select which one you need.
 * In our VisualEditor, the window doesn't present options for linking. You can use the same field for either type of link.
 * Enter the target of the link. For an internal link, enter the name of the page. For an external link, enter the full URL (including the "https://" part).
 * Make sure the text that should display for the link looks right. It should be displaying the text you highlighted earlier.
 * Click "OK". Your link will appear!

Important notes

 * Until you're confident making links, don't forget to preview your changes before you save.
 * On most wikis, if your new link is red in the preview, either that destination does not exist or you typed it incorrectly. If you click on the red link, you will be asked to create the page.
 * Adding a link that goes to the current page appears as bold text instead of a link when viewing the page.

Handling disputes
This guideline describes the most common reasons for including and excluding links. However, the fact that a given link is not actually prohibited by this guideline does not automatically mean that it must or should be linked. Every link provided must be justifiable in the opinion of the editors for an article. Disputes about links can be addressed through the normal dispute-resolution process, particularly at the external links noticeboard.

Disputed links should normally be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them.

External links section
If an article has external links, the standard format is to place them in a bulleted list under a primary heading at the end of the article. External links should identify the link and briefly summarize the website's contents and why the website is relevant to the article. The heading should be "External links" (plural) even when only a single link is listed. If several external links are listed and the subject of the article is a living person, organization, web service, or otherwise has an official website, it is normal practice to place the link to that site at the top of the list.
