Links between the articles are one of the most important of WikiShia, that make it a "wiki". Whenever you see a word or phrase in an article that a reader might need more information about, you can simply link that word or phrase to any other page in WikiShia. By using double brackets (i.e <nowiki>[[*]]</nowiki> ) around a word or phrase it would be linked to a page in [[WikiShia]] with a same title.


 
for example, <code><nowiki>[[Imam 'Ali (a)]] is the first [[Imam]] of Shia.</nowiki></code> renders: [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] is the first [[Imam]] of Shia.

There might be times when we need to link a word or phrase to a page with a different title. This could be done with pipelines within the code of the link. The first part within the brackets would be the link target, and the part after the pipeline would be the linked word or phrase in the text.
For example, <code><nowiki>[[Lady Fatima (a)|Prophet's daughter]]</nowiki></code> would link the phrase '''''Prophet's daughter''''' to the page [[Lady Fatima (a)]].
