Quite a few people don't seem to know this so here's

==How to link in TJP forum==

* [url]http://www.google.com/[/url]
This creates a link that looks like http://www.google.com/ If you highlight your link and click the [url] button it will add the [url][/url] for you automatically. Note that this should '''not''' be used for excessively long urls as it messes up the page display.

* [url=http://www.google.com/]Google[/url]
This creates a link that looks like [http://www.google.com/ Google]. Some people (OK, me) think that this doesn't stand out enough so you may want to add [b][/b] tags to the the link code.

* [wiki]Just the FAQs[/wiki]
This creates a link to the wiki page [[Just the FAQs]]. Note that if you want to bold it then the [b] tags need to go '''outside''' the wiki tags. [b][wiki]Just the FAQs[/wiki][/b]

* [wiki=Just the FAQs]FAQ[/wiki]
This creates a link to the wiki [[Just the FAQs|FAQ]] page.

''Special note for [[Shoutbox]] users''

* [wiki=WP:FAQ]the FAQ Page[/wiki]
Links entered into the Shoutbox are affected by the 'auto-insert break' for long lines of text. A way around this is to create shortcut names and re-direct page like [[WP:FAQ]].
