External Links

A link to an ordinary web page is created by enclosing the page URL and descriptive text inside single square brackets.

When clicked, an external link will open the linked page in a new browser tab or possibly a new browser window.

We suggest some conventions for external links that make them more understandable for reader and reusable for authors. See Add an External Link for a more detailed explanation of when to use them (summarised below).

Clicking on an external link should never be necessary to understanding the wiki article you are writing. Include important information in the page, and if comparable in-wiki resources exist use the in-wiki resources over external ones.

If the in-wiki resources are not adequate, it might be a sign that a new page is needed.

Notice it has three parts. The paragraph, the URL, and a Link Word. The paragraph makes the content of the link clear. The URL opens in a new tab. The Link Word tells the user what format to expect.

Be sure to edit the text of the paragraph in such a way that the reader has some idea of what the link might go to. Here the reader can assume the link will go to a more in-depth description of the device or the Bush article itself.
