URLs in external links

A link in external link style can be of the forms:

  • target: https://www.nbrowse.org.nz/ is rendered as http://www.nbrowse.org.nz/
  • [ target label ], with a blank space in between: [/index.php/Main_Page NuGOwiki] gives [/index.php/Main_Page NuGOwiki] (see also Help:Piped link)
  • [ target ] - these are automatically labelled with serial numbers 1, 2, 3, ...: [https://www.nbrowse.org.nz/mediawiki/] gives [1]

The target is a URL which can start with "http://" or "ftp://";

"file://" does not work by default.

Old versions of pages

All old versions of all pages are numbered (with oldid) approximately in the order of becoming an old version, i.e. in chronological order of the next edit of the same page.

New pages

Page versions get a number "oldid" as soon as they are created; they are produced by variable {{REVISIONID}}. The URL is like in the previous section.}}

Edit

Examples:

Purge

In some cases of caching problems, to update a page it can help to use "action=purge", in a URL like http://www.nugowiki.org/index.php?title=Help:URL&action=purge

Kinds of dead links

There can be various kinds of errors in the URL. With some the server is not even reached, with others the server takes some action. The server may also go to the correct page and just ignore a wrong parameter or anchor.
