This is a page that allows our members to avoid common errors when writing source code. Our staff members do not need to spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess.

Links

The links recurrently cause problems, especially when somebody is linking to another wiki.

Links to other pages within this wiki

• You have to always link to other pages via internal links (instead of external ones).

[[Electricity Manipulation]] is considered valid.
[https://thecodex.wiki/Electricity_Manipulation Electricity Manipulation] is considered invalid.

• You have to link to blogs via internal links as well. Do not forget to clean up "_"s too.

[[User:GiverOfThePeace/Test Blog|Test Blog]] is considered valid.

Links to websites outside

• You have to link to pages from other wikis within FANDOM via internal links as well. This is considered one of the hardest methods, but when you get used to it, this method will not be so hard anymore. First of all, you should put w:c: at the beginning, then type a certain wiki's domain. Put another colon and a certain page's name, and at the end put "|" and your text. Do not forget to clean up "_"s as well.

• Wikis unrelated to FANDOM do not have shortened links. Thus you may use external links while linking to some independent wiki related to your profile page.
• Other websites, such as YouTube or Imgur, are completely acceptable to be linked to via external links. However, when you link to a YouTube video, do not forget about the specific timestamp for the relevant scene in question.
