What it looks like	What you type
London has public transport. A link to another Wiki article. Internally, the first letter of the target page is automatically capitalized and spaces are represented as underscores (typing an underscore in the link has the same effect as typing a space, but is not recommended). Thus the link above is to the URL en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_transport, which is the Wikipedia article with the name "Public transport". See also Wikipedia:Canonicalization.	London has [[public transport]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. Same target, different name. The target ("piped") text must be placed first, then the text that will be displayed second.	San Francisco also has [[public transport| public transportation]].
San Francisco also has public transportation. Examples include buses, taxicabs, and streetcars. Endings are blended into the link. Preferred style is to use this instead of a piped link, if possible. Blending can be suppressed by using <nowiki></nowiki> tags, which may be desirable in some instances. Example: a microsecond.	San Francisco also has [[public transport]]ation. Examples include [[bus]]es, [[taxicab]]s, and [[streetcar]]s. a [[micro]]<nowiki>second </nowiki>
See the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. A link to another namespace.	See the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]].

Italics is a piped link to a section within another page. The part after the number sign (#) must match a section heading on the page. Matches must be exact in terms of spelling, case, and punctuation. Links to non-existent sections are not broken; they are treated as links to the top of the page. Include "| link title" to create a stylish (piped) link title.	[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Italics]] is a link to a section within another page.
