Aliases

Aliases are replaceable shortcuts used in wiki links.

Add an alias

Click the WoaS::Aliases link in the menu.
Add this line to the page, replacing ALIAS with the shortcut you'd like to use and PAGENAME with the name of the page you'd like the alias to represent:
$ALIAS PAGENAME

Use an alias

Aliases can be used in links the same way a page name would be used.

To create a plain link using an alias, surround the link with double square brackets, inserting a dollar sign before the alias name.

Add this link to a page, replacing ALIAS with the alias you'd like to use:
[[$ALIAS]]

To create a labeled link, surround the link with double square brackets, inserting a dollar sign before the alias name, adding a pipe after the alias, and adding some link text after the pipe.

Add this link to a page, replacing ALIAS with the alias you'd like to use, and replacing LABEL with the text for the link:
[[$ALIAS|LABEL]]

Example:

Click the WoaS::Aliases link in the menu.
Add this line to the page:
$HOME Main Page
Add [[$HOME]] to any page to make a plain link to the Main Page.
Add [[$HOME|home sweet home]] to any page to make a labeled link to the Main Page.
Add [[include::$HOME]] to any page to include the Main Page in the current page.
