	Hi, Bb. Do you need advice on how to link to things? I've seen two lots of times that you've created new redirect pages in non-useful ways (left a message of my own, in the second case, but maybe you'll see this here first). [[Special:Contributions/172.70.160.252\|172.70.160.252]] 21:29, 26 March 2025 (UTC)		Hi, Bb. Do you need advice on how to link to things?

		+	::Ok, so (sticking just with internal links within explainxkcd), you'll have noted that all explanation pages are of the format '''<Number of comic>: <Name of comic>''', like "214: The Problem with Wikipedia". If you want to link to that, surround it by [[]]s, as you do know - <code><nowiki>[[214: The Problem with Wikipedia]]</nowiki></code> looks (and works) thusly: [[214: The Problem with Wikipedia]]. That often works well enough, in context:
		+	::: ...as was also reference in [[214: The Problem with Wikipedia]], among others...
		+	::But ''almost'' every such page also has a '''<Number of comic>''' redirect and another '''<Name of comic>''' one, that go to the number-and-name page. So <code><nowiki>[[214]]</nowiki></code> gives you the ability to write "...see comic number [[214]] for more details...", should you so wish, or the better <code><nowiki>[[The Problem with Wikipedia]]</nowiki></code> to be used like "...as discussed in “[[The Problem with Wikipedia]]”...". (Note that it is both ok ''and'' expected to have the inline link be the '''number: name''' one. Don't shy away from that just copy and paste the page's header, if you want it, like copying a wikipedia page title lets you use the {{template\|w}}-template as <code><nowiki>{{w\|Wikipedia page title}}</nowiki></code> without unwanted character-recodings and underlines as spaces.)
		+	::But perhaps you want a different title (or emphasis of title) as the link-text? That's easy. Add the pipe ("\|") character and the text you want to link. Linking in <code><nowiki>[[214: The Problem with Wikipedia\|this page, like this]]</nowiki></code> has you linking in [[214: The Problem with Wikipedia\|this page, like this]]...
		+	::And the same can be done with the '''214''' link or the '''The Problem with Wikipedia''' one, but there's usually no reason to do that, as you're already changing it to 'hide' the actual pagename (perhaps to shorten it on rendering?) and the source isn't harmed by having the fully qualified destination page.
		+	::And it's also the best way to deal with comic pages like [[2614: 2]], where blindly linking to [[2]] sends you to the number-"2" comic (that came first), not the named-"2" one, whereas [[855: 1999]] made it so that [[1999]] goes to the named-"1999" comic, before ever there was a number-"1999" (i.e. [[1999: Selection Effect]]) to go to, and possibly otherwise get confused by when just reading.
		+	::If you put in a link that ''isn't'' a current valid destination, it may be tempting to 'unredlink' it by a redirect to the page you ''did'' mean, but it's really better just to correct the link. If you want your link to read "blah blah '''the problem with Wikipedia''' blah blah.." then use the "<code><nowiki>blah blah [[214: The Problem with Wikipedia\|the problem with Wikipedia]] blah blah...</nowiki></code>" form, rather than force a page for '''the problem with Wikipedia'''.
		+	::Then there's [url] links and more hints about how to use the {{template\|w}}-template (shortcutting a [[]]ed inter-wiki link to "wikipedia:destination page"), but you can ask for more on that ''if'' that's also of interest to you.
