If you want to add a link from this forum to a page in the Wiki, which uses its own internal system of links, your link needs to be a combination of a link to the starting page of the Wiki, followed by a link to its internal page.

For example, if you wish to create a link to the Wiki Glossary page on ARS (Automatic Route Setting), its internal address in the Wiki is usertrack:glossary:ars, which you will see in boldface at the top of the Wiki page. To form the link, combine these two elements:

The starting address* of the Wiki:
Quote:
http://www.SimSig.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=
The internal link to the glossary page:
Quote:
usertrack:glossary:ars
So your final link becomes
Quote:
http://www.SimSig.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=usertrack:glossary:ars
Insert the link here like this: ARS (modify link title to suit)

*The web address of this page in your browser may appear to be
Quote:
http://www.SimSig.co.uk/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=73

Don't copy this link as it will not take you beyond the start page of the Wiki.

NOTE: Linking from one Wiki page to another requires a different link syntax, which you can read about on the Wiki Syntax page

Maybe forum admins might like to make this thread a sticky. It will be duplicated in the Wiki itself.

An alternative is to right click and open as a new page/tab
