The wiki syntax/markup provides you with some shortcuts when you are creating content for your wikis. You can create links to new wiki pages or existing wiki pages and quoted text directly into the text editor.
Creating a link to a new wiki page

renders as 'This is a TEST' and becomes an active link when you save and close the editor.
When you click the link, Telligent Community opens the add a page editor so you can create the new page.

The syntax for creating a link to an existing page is similar to that used for creating a link to a new page except the double-bracketed syntax would look like this: [<page name>|<link text>].

Telligent Community renders this as a link to "Telligent Collaboration" wiki page.

Telligent Community renders it this way:
