• Link to another page within BluWiki with a double pair of brackets. If you type a pipe, the alternate text will be displayed, but the link will go to the same place.

• Note that the standard way to create a new wiki page is simply to edit an existing page and add a link to the new page. When you click on the new link, you will go directly to an edit box for the new page.

• External links work a bit differently. Enclose the full URL in a single pair of brackets. If you type a space, alternate text will be shown; otherwise, the link appears only as a reference number.

• If there's a page named Template:Foo, then the markup {{foo}} (a pair of double braces) will be rendered as the entire contents of the template page.

• {{tl|foo}} creates a clickable link to the template page instead.

• Some templates take parameters, separated by pipes. See the documentation on each template's Talk page for more information about usage and parameters.
