Basics of wikitext

Linking

• Link to pages in the wiki with double brackets:
  • [[Carbonate reservoir models: facies, diagenesis, and flow characterization]] becomes Carbonate reservoir models: facies, diagenesis, and flow characterization
• If the page you want to link to doesn't match the text you want to link with, add a pipe after the page name with the text you want:
  • [[Carbonate reservoir models: facies, diagenesis, and flow characterization|Carbonate diagenesis]] becomes Carbonate diagenesis\

  • [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonate Carbonate] becomes Carbonate
