Making a Pipe Link means to make a link that shows a word other than the name of the actual link. Confused? Example:

a. The name of the article is [[ Birthday]], but Come to the Party would be a much more exciting link.

b. Inside the opening brackets write the name of the article, like such, [[Birthday]]

c. Put in a pipe symbol “ | “

d. Then place the name you would like to appear on the link, [[Come to the Party]] .

Written out the code should look like this, [[Birthday|Come to the Party]] , and would appear as this, Come to the Party
