Wikilinks
There are actual rules for making wikilinks, unlike the wikilink you added to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet‎. If there is no article to which you wikilink, it doesn't just magically appear after you add the brackets, and Wikipedia cannot read your mind to know what page you're trying to link. For example, when you bracketed "Hartford School for the Deaf" (with the quotation marks, you created a dead link because there will never be an article that includes the quotation marks. Even if you had bracketed Hartford School for the Deaf without the quotation marks, you still get a dead link because there is no such article. There's also a handy little device called the Show preview button at the bottom of the editing window. When you click it, you get to see what your edit will look like before it's saved permanently. Editing the text of an article is straightforward, but you have to know what you are doing with links. Please read Help:Link before making such edits. Ward3001 (talk) 22:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
