維基百科:格式手冊/連結/new

  

• 如想了解連結的使用方法，請見Help:連結；
• 如想了解外部連結的資訊，請見Wikipedia:外部連結。

維基百科的一大特色就是超連結。內部連結使得整個網站連在一起；跨維基連結將不同語言版本的維基百科，以及姊妹計劃（例如維基文庫、維基詞典等）連接在一起；外部連結則把維基百科連入互聯網。

合適的連結可以成為同向站內外不同位置的捷徑，可以使讀者對條目的內容有更好的理解。所以在編輯條目的時候，我們不僅僅要考慮寫些什麼，還要考慮這個條目包含哪些連結更有利於讀者的閱讀，以及其他哪些條目需要連結到這裏。需要小心的是，在編輯過程中既要避免連結不足，又要防止過度連結。

本指引說明了哪些情況下應當使用連結，哪些情況下不應使用，以及如何統一連結的格式。連結的使用方法已由Help:連結說明。消歧義頁面的連結格式則由消歧義頁指引規範。

原理

維基百科建立在超文字基礎上，並致力於「構築網絡」，使讀者輕鬆訪問其他頁面上的相關資訊。頁面啟用超連結之處稱為錨點；連結指向的頁面稱為目標。 頁面中的連結指向被稱為目標。

在增刪連結時，請將條目置於知識樹。內部連結可以提升維基百科的條目連接力和實用性，通過讓讀者便捷訪問其它條目而深入了解主題。自問，「讀者有多大可能還想閱讀其它條目？」考慮加入讀者可能會用到的連結；比如在條目序言、新章節的開頭、表格的儲存格，以及圖像題注中。但是注意下文的經驗法則，編輯應只在條目中術語首次出現之處加入連結。

連結風格一般問題

• 如同Help:連結#維基連結所述的更多細節，連結可以是「直接指向」（[[里弗赛德 (加利福尼亚州)]]，會顯示里弗賽德 (加利福尼亞州)），或是使用「管道連結」（[[里弗赛德 (加利福尼亚州)|里弗赛德]]，會在文字中顯示里弗賽德，但仍然指向里弗賽德 (加利福尼亞州)，見Help:管道連結技巧來簡單建立這種特別連結）。
• 章節標題本身不應含連結；代之應當在標題後緊接放置{{main}}或{{seealso}}模板。
• 在導言的首句中，不應當以自我指向連結表示粗體。
• 引言中的文字通常不應連加入連結；相反，考慮連結附近的相關文字，或使用條目的「參見」章節。

• 若可能，則不要讓連結間鄰接，好像看起來是一個連結，比如[[爱尔兰]][[国际象棋]][[冠军]]。考慮改述陳述式，或使以更具體的連結（如愛爾蘭國際象棋冠軍）代之。
• 請勿在條目中連結用戶頁或維基計劃頁面，除非條目和維基百科本身有關。（見Wikipedia:避免自我參照）
• 不要無必要的強迫讀者點開連結：對於技術性很強的術語，如可能，請簡短解釋之。同樣，也請不要讓讀者必須點開連結才能理解句子，特別點開後還套一層連結才能理解。（即頁面中有個術語需要點開連結，點開后里面又有個術語還需要再點開連結，如此迴圈）不要假設讀者可以打開連結，比如他們可能正在紙上閱讀列印版本。

過度連結與連接不足

通常應該連結的專案

如果條目中需要連結以便理解條目的詞語未有連結，則條目稱為連接不足。一般而言，這些內容應被連結：

• 有助讀者更充分理解條目（見下文範例），而指向其它條目有關主題的連結。這可以包括已有條目或顯然值得的人物、事件與主題，只要連結和條目問題有關。
• 有關資訊的條目，比如「相關背景見傅里葉級數」。
• 需要解釋的專業術語、行話、俗語或片語——但是你還是可以給出一個簡明定義或同時也加上連結，而單只放置連結。如果維基百科沒有合適的條目，也可以用跨維基連結連結合適的維基詞典頁面。
• 讀者可能不熟悉的專有名詞。

不必害怕連接到尚未建立的潛在條目。（見下文紅色連結）

如果你認為連結不適宜插入條目正文，可考慮移至「參見」章節。

通常應連結的專案

如果條目中含有過量連結，致使難以確定哪些內容能大大有助於讀者理解條目，則條目為過度連結。特別的，除非下列內容與條目主題非常有關，則通常不應連結：、

• 大多數讀者可理解的日常詞彙；
• 主要地理要素與地點；語言；宗教；常見職業；pre- and post-nominals；
• 常見度量單位，比如有關面積、長度、溫度、時間和體積的單位（如果同時列出非公制與公制單位，如18 °C（64 °F），則兩個單位都不需要連結，因為讀者都至少能理解其一）；

請勿連結重新導向回頁面自身的連結。（除非是指向條目合適的章節的可能性重新導向）

一般而言，連結在同一篇條目中只應出現一次，但如果有助於讀者，則連結可以在資訊框、表格、圖像題注、註腳，以及在導言之後的首次出現時重複連結。

序言章節

過多連結會讓閱讀變得困難。對於使用不常見術語的專業條目，可能必須在序言中使用高出平常的連結密度。這時試着在導言給出通俗解釋，從而避免在條目下文開始前出現太多專業術語——見Wikipedia:讓專業條目也可理解和點。點en:WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal的第7點。

An example article

For example, in the article on supply and demand:

• almost certainly link "microeconomics" and "general equilibrium theory", as these are technical terms that many readers are unlikely to understand at first sight;
• consider linking "price" and "goods" only if these common words have technical dimensions that are specifically relevant to the topic.
• do not link to the "United States", because that is an article on a very broad topic with no direct connection to supply and demand.
• definitely do not link "wheat", because it is a common term with no particular relationship to the article on supply and demand, beyond its arbitrary use as an example of traded goods in that article.
• Make sure that the links are directed to the correct articles: in this example, you should link good (economics), not good. Many common dictionary words link to disambiguation pages.

Link clarity

The article linked to should correspond to the term showing as the link as closely as possible given the context: for example, When Mozart wrote his Requiem rather than When Mozart wrote his Requiem, or Previn conducted Mozart's Requiem rather than Previn conducted Mozart's Requiem – this makes it clear the link is to the article on Mozart's Requiem in particular, rather than that on requiems in general. The link target and the link label do not have to correspond to each other, but the link must be as intuitive as possible. Thus, one may have a link "second longest European river" with the target 'Danube' and the link label 'second longest European river'. For further detail, refer to the section Piped links.

Link specificity

Always link to the article on the most specific topic appropriate to the context from which you link: it will generally contain more focused information, as well as links to more general topics. (Move your mouse pointer over the blue links in the table below to see the target.)

What you type	How it appears	Specificity
[[Icelandic alphabet]]	Icelandic alphabet	Specific
[[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] alphabet	Icelandic alphabet	Related, but less specific
Icelandic [[alphabet]]	Icelandic alphabet	Unspecific
the [[flag of Tokelau]]	the flag of Tokelau	Specific
the [[flag]] of [[Tokelau]]	the flag of Tokelau	Unspecific
[[Requiem (Mozart)|Requiem]]	Requiem	Specific
[[Requiem]]	Requiem	Unspecific

In each case the specific link is preferred.

If there is no article about the most specific topic, do one of the following things:

• Consider creating the article yourself.
• If an article on the specific topic does not yet exist, create a redirect page to the article about a more general topic, as described in section Template:Sectionlink. For example, if no article yet exists on the song "Sad Statue" from the album Mezmerize, create a new article called Sad Statue that redirects to the article Mezmerize.
• If there is no article on a more general topic either, then create a red link, but read Template:Sectionlink below.

When neither a redirect nor a red link appear appropriate, consider linking to a more general article instead. For example, instead of Baroque hairstyles, write Baroque hairstyles, Baroque hairstyles, Baroque hairstyles, or hairstyles of the Baroque, depending on the context.

Section links

更多資訊：Help:Link § Section linking (anchors)

If an existing article has a section specifically about the topic, you can redirect or link directly to it, by appending a number sign (#) and the name of the section to the article name. For example, Underpromotion is a redirect to Promotion (chess)#Underpromotion, and in the article Quark, the link eight gluon types (typed as [[Gluon#Eight gluon colors|eight gluon types]]) links to a specific section in the article Gluon. When doing this, add a hidden comment to the target section such as <!-- "Quark" links here --> so that someone changing the title of that section can fix the incoming links. (Alternatively, use Template:Anchor in case of a large number of links to the section.)

To link to a section of the same article, e.g. in the lead of Promotion (chess), write: [[#Promotion to rook or bishop|promotion to a rook or bishop]].

Note: the hidden message (<!-- "Article" links here -->) must be added to the target section with a break between the header and the hidden message:
==Target section==
<!-- "Article" links here -->

If there is no break:
==Target section==<!-- "Article" links here -->
problems arise such as the target section title not being added to the edit summary when the section edit button is clicked and the article does not return to that section after editing.

Techniques

Redirects

主頁面：Wikipedia:Redirect

Let's assume for example you needed to link "poodle", and there was no article for poodles yet. You might want to create a redirect from "poodle" to "dog" as follows: Write the link in the text as if the "poodle" article existed: She owned a [[poodle]]. When you save or preview this, you will see: She owned a poodle. Click on the red link to create the redirect page, and enter the code #REDIRECT followed by a space and a standard wikilink to the target article name (in our case, Dog). The result should be: #REDIRECT [[Dog]].

The advantage of redirects over piped links is that they allow us to determine which pages link to the given topic using Special:WhatLinksHere, which in turn allows us to

• create a new article when a significant number of links to that topic exist (see WP:Don't fix links to redirects that are not broken and Redirects with possibilities)
• maintain links, e.g. by filtering incoming links and identifying related articles.

(There is currently no way to apply Whatlinkshere directly to article sections.)

To link to a redirect page without following the underlying redirect, use {{noredirect|PageName}}, replacing PageName with the name of the redirect page to link.

Piped links

主頁面：Wikipedia:Piped link

You may want to display a text for a link that is different from the linked article title. This can be achieved with what is called Piped links. Example: [[Henry II of England|Henry II]], which displays as Henry II. However, make sure that it is still clear what the link refers to without having to follow the link. Think about what the reader will believe the link is about. Example: When you use a link such as [[Archery at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Archery]] (which displays as Archery), the reader will expect this link to go to a general article on archery, rather than Archery at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The exception is when it is clear from the context that links go to specific articles, as in template:2008 Summer Olympics calendar, where all links go to the article about these specific games.

• Plurals and other derived names. When forming plurals, you can do so thus: [[apple]]s which includes the final "s" in the link like this: apples. This is easier to type and clearer to read in the source text than [[apple|apples]]. This works not just for "s", but for any words that consist of an article name and some additional letters. For details, see Help:Link. (This does not work for affixes beginning with hyphens, apostrophes, or capital letters.)
• Case sensitivity. Links are not sensitive to initial capitalization, so there is no need to use piping where the only difference between the text and the target is the case of the initial letter (Wikipedia article titles almost always begin with a capital, whereas the linked words in context often do not). However, links are case-sensitive for all but the initial character.

• Intuitiveness. Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Per the principle of least astonishment, make sure that the reader knows what to expect when clicking on a link. You should plan your page structure and links so that everything appears reasonable and makes sense. If a link takes readers to somewhere other than where they thought it would, it should at least take them somewhere that makes sense. For example, do not write this:

Template:!xt2

The readers will not see the hidden reference to the parton model unless they click on or hover over the piped particle physics link; in hard copy, the reference to partons is completely lost. (Such links are sometimes called "Easter egg links" or "submarine links".) Instead, reference the article with an explicit "see also" or by rephrasing:

Richard Feynman was also known for work in [[particle physics]] (he proposed the [[parton (particle physics)|parton]] model).

• Piping and redirects. Per Template:Sectionlink above, do not use a piped link where it is possible to use a redirected term that fits well within the scope of the text. For example, let's assume the page A Dirge for Sabis is a redirect to the page The Sword of Knowledge, and while you're editing some other article, you want to add a link to A Dirge for Sabis. You may be tempted to avoid the redirect by directly linking to it with a pipe like this: [[The Sword of Knowledge|A Dirge for Sabis]]. Instead, write simply [[A Dirge for Sabis]] and let the system handle the rest. This has the added advantage that if an article is written later about the more specific subject (in this case, A Dirge for Sabis), fewer links will need to be changed to accommodate the new article.

Piped links and redirects to sections of articles

更多資訊：Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking § Section links

Linking to particular sections of articles can be useful, inasmuch as it can take the reader immediately to the information that is most focused on the original topic. If you decide not to use a redirect, you have to use a piped link, because the format "Article name#Section name", is inappropriate for display in an article. The format for a subsection link is [[Article#Section|name of link]]. Please note, section name is case sensitive. For example, to link to the "Culture" subsection of the Oman article, type [[Oman#Culture|culture of Oman]] (which displays as culture of Oman). When doing this, add a hidden comment to the target section such as <!-- the article WP:LINK links here --> so that someone changing the title of that section can fix the incoming links. (Alternatively, use {{Anchor}} in case of a large number of links to the section.)

History of Topic: #REDIRECT[''Topic''#History [[history of Topic]]

[[Topic#History|history of Topic]]

Among topics useful for linking to, there are many which Wikipedia currently implements as article sections, but which are potentially notable enough to become standalone articles. For example, the article Eastern Anyshire can have a small ==History== section, but this does not preclude an article on the History of Eastern Anyshire to be written eventually. Usually, a redirect page from a sub-topic to a general topic already exists, or should be created on demand. It is bad practice to make such links as Article#Section links explicitly, because navigation becomes inconvenient after the section is replaced by a summary of a new article. Instead, link through redirects, as it costs little and makes improvements easier.

Links to Wikipedia's categories

Wikipedia has categories of articles like [[Category:Phrases]]; adding this to an article puts it into that category. You can link to a category by putting a colon in front.

For example [[:Category:Phrases]] links to Category:Phrases, and piping can be used: Phrases.

{{see also cat|Phrases}} creates:

另請參見「Category:Phrases」。

Red links

主頁面：Wikipedia:Red link

Overlinking in general is a style issue partly because of the undesirable effect upon readability. But if too many blue links is distracting (reducing the chance the article will be read), then a red link is even more so. The unassuming coloration of the text, (probably black), is the most productive.

In prose, if it seems that the level of red linking is overlinking, remember that red links have been found to be a driving force that encourage contributions, and then use that fact to balance the perceived stylistic issues of "overlinking" the red links. (Legitimate red links are titles to unfulfilled coverage of topics that do not violate What Wikipedia is not.) Given a certain number of red links needed, if marking all of them could be overlinking, then just how many should be marked could be a style issue, and just which ones are priority is a helpful contribution.

In lists, overlinking red links can occur when every item on a list is a red link. If the list is uniform, where each item is obviously qualified for an article, a single red link (or blue link) could indicate that. If the list is not uniform, the research effort to mark all possible red links is a risky investment: while red means "approved" status, "black" remains ambiguous, even though it meant "disapproved" after research. Valid requests for the future creation of each title in a list, or in prose, may also be a risky investment when the number of red links could be perceived by other editors as overlinking, and then removed before the investment was fruitful. The removal of massive numbers of red links from an overlinked list is best handled by an editor skilled in the automation of text processing.

Red links can also be removed if they violate policy or the guideline for red links, but otherwise red links do not have an expiration date. If you remain convinced there is overlinking of red links, consider turning some of them blue. The methods to do so are by creating a simple stub, a redirect, or a disambiguation page. All of these require the certainty that the red link was legitimate in the first place, such as the conventions on naming and titling.

Checking links as they are created

One of the most common errors in linking occurs when editors do not check to see whether a link they have created goes to the intended location. This is especially true when a mistake is not obvious to the reader or to other editors. The text of links needs to be exact, and many Wikipedia destinations have a number of similar titles. To avoid such problems, which can be irritating for readers, the following procedure is recommended, especially for editors who are new to creating links.

1. Carefully key in the link.
2. Click on "Show preview".
3. In the display-mode, click on the links (or open them in a new browser tab) to check they go where you intend; if they do not, fix them. If a destination page does not appear to exist, do a quick search to determine whether the article has a differently worded title or the subject is treated in a section of another article. Adjust the link accordingly or leave it as a red link.
4. Return to the "Show preview" page using your browser's return button (or close the browser tab showing the linked article).
5. Click on "Save page".

By following naming conventions, an internal link will be much more likely to lead to an existing article. When there is not yet an article about the subject, a good link will make the creation of a correctly named article much easier for subsequent writers.

Specific cases

Chronological items

Month-and-day linking

Month-and-day articles (e.g. February 24 and 10 July) should not be linked unless their content is relevant and appropriate to the subject. Such links should share an important connection with that subject other than that the events occurred on the same date. For example, editors should not link the date (or year) in a sentence such as (from Sydney Opera House): "The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007", because little, if any, of the contents of either June 28 or 2007 are germane to either UNESCO, a World Heritage Site, or the Sydney Opera House.

References to commemorative days (Saint Patrick's Day) are treated as for any other link. Intrinsically chronological articles (1789, January, and 1940s) may themselves contain linked chronological items.

Year linking

Year articles (e.g. 1795, 1955, 2007) should not be linked unless they contain information that is germane and topical to the subject matter—that is, the events in the year article should share an important connection other than merely that they occurred in the same year. For instance, Timeline of World War II (1942) may be linked to from another article about WWII, and so too may 1787 in science when writing about a particular development on the metric system in that year. However, the years of birth and death of architect Philip C. Johnson should not be linked, because little, if any, of the contents of 1906 and 2005 are germane to either Johnson or to architecture.

Intrinsically chronological articles (1789, January, and 1940s) may themselves contain linked chronological items.

Units of measurement that aren't obscure

Units should generally only be linked to if they are likely to be obscure to readers of the article, or if they are being discussed (see use–mention distinction). So, for example, the troy ounce or bushel, the candela, mho or millibarn might be considered obscure. Units that are relatively common generally don't need to be linked. Other units may be obscure in some countries, but well known in others (such as metric system units, which are not well known in the US) and so linking them may be useful, unless a conversion is present, as in 20 °C（68 °F） or 68 °F（20 °C）—practically all readers will understand at least one of the measures.

External links section

主頁面：Wikipedia:External links

Wikipedia is not a link collection, and an article comprising only links is contrary to what the "what Wikipedia is not" policy dictates.

Syntax

The syntax for referencing a URL is simple. Just enclose it in single brackets with a space between the URL and the text that will be displayed when the page is previewed or saved:

[http://www.example.org Text to display]

The text will display as:

Text to display

The URL must begin with http:// or another common protocol, such as ftp:// or news://. If no protocol is used, the square brackets will display normally – [like this] – and can be used in the standard way.

In addition, putting URLs in plain text with no markup automatically produces a link, for example http://www.example.org/ → http://www.example.org/. However, this feature may disappear in a future release. Therefore, in cases where you wish to display the URL because it is intrinsically valuable information, it is better to use the short form of the URL (domain name) as the optional text: [http://www.example.org/ example.org] produces example.org.

Link titles

主頁面：Wikipedia:Embedded citations

You should not add a descriptive title to an embedded HTML link within an article. Instead, when giving an embedded link as a source within an article, simply enclose the URL in square brackets, like this: [http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1650417,00.html] → [1]. However, you should add a descriptive title when an external link is offered in the References, Further reading, or External links section. This is done by supplying descriptive text after the URL, separated by a space and enclosing it all in square brackets.

For example, to add a title to a bare URL such as http://en.wikipedia.org/ (this is rendered as http://en.wikipedia.org/), use the following syntax: [http://en.wikipedia.org/ an open-content encyclopedia] (this is rendered as "an open-content encyclopedia").

Generally, URLs are ugly and uninformative; it is better for a meaningful title to be displayed rather than the URL itself. For example, European Space Agency website is much more reader-friendly than http://www.esa.int/export/esaCP/index.html. There may be exceptions where the URL is well known or is the company name. In this case, putting both the URL and a valid title will be more informative: for example, European Space Agency website, www.esa.int.

If the URL is displayed, make it as simple as possible; for example, if the index.html is superfluous, remove it (but be sure to check in preview mode first).

The "printable version" of a page displays all URLs in full, including those given a title, so no information is lost.

URLs as embedded (numbered) links

Without the optional text, external references appear as automatically numbered links: For example,

[http://en.wikipedia.org/]

is displayed like this:

[2]

When an embedded HTML link is used to provide an inline source in an article, a numbered link should be used after the punctuation, like this, [3] with a full citation given in the References section. This style of referencing is not recommended, because such links are susceptible to link rot. See Wikipedia:Cite sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information.

When placed in the References and External links sections, these links should be expanded with link text, and preferably a full citation, including the name of the article, the author, the journal or newspaper the article appeared in, the date it was published, and the date retrieved.

Position in article

主頁面：Wikipedia:ORDER

Embedded links that are used to support information in an article are positioned in the same manner as any other reference in the article, following the usual standards about citation formatting and placement in relation to punctuation.

Links that are not used as sources can be listed in the External links section, like this:

== External links ==

* [http://

* [http://

As with other top-level headings, two equal signs should be used to mark up the external links heading (see Headings elsewhere in the article). External links should always be the last section in an article. It precedes categories and some kinds of navigation templates.

If there is a dispute on the position of an embedded link, consider organizing alphabetically.

Non-English-language sites

Webpages in English are highly preferred. Linking to non-English pages may still be useful for readers in the following cases:

• when the website is the subject of the article
• when linking to pages with maps, diagrams, photos, tables (explain the key terms with the link, so that people who do not know the language can interpret them)
• when the webpage contains information found on no English-language site of comparable quality, and is used as a citation (or when translations on English-language sites are not authoritative).

If the language is one that most readers could not be expected to recognize, or is for some other reason unclear from the name of the publication or the book/article/page title, consider indicating what language the site is in.

• Example: El País, a Spanish-language newspaper from Madrid

You can also indicate the language by putting a language icon after the link. This is done using Template:Language icon by typing {{Language icon|<language code>|<language name>}}. For example, {{Language icon|es}} displays as: （西班牙語）. Alternatively, type {{xx icon}}, where xx is the language code. For example, {{pl icon}} gives: （波蘭文）. See Category:Language icon templates for a list of these templates and the list of ISO 639 codes.

When using one of the above templates in references that use a {{cite}} template, make sure you place the {{language}} or {{XX icon}} template outside of the {{cite}} template, like this: <ref>{{cite web ...}}{{es icon}}</ref>

File type and size

If the link is not to an HTML or PDF file (the latter is identified automatically by the software with an icon like this: [4]), identify the file type. Useful templates are available: {{DOClink}}, {{RTFlink}}. If a browser plugin is required to view the file, mention that as well. If a link is to a PDF file but doesn't end with .pdf, you can put a #.pdf at the end to flag it as a PDF.

If the link is to a large file (in the case of HTML, consider the size of the entire page, including the images), a note about that is useful too. Someone with a slow (or expensive) connection may decide not to use it.

Interwiki links

主頁面：Help:Interlanguage links和Help:InterWikimedia links

Linking

Interwiki links can take the form of:

[[wiktionary:article]] which appears as: wiktionary:article

The pipe symbol suppresses the prefix:

[[wiktionary:article|]] → article

Adding text after the pipe allows different text:

[[wiktionary:article|Any text]] → Any text

Floating boxes

Floating boxes for links to articles in other Wikimedia Foundation projects such as Wiktionary and Wikiquote can be done with special link templates such as {{Wikiquote|Jimmy Wales}}. These will display as a box with a logo. Similar templates exist for some free content resources that are not run by the Wikimedia Foundation. These boxes are formatted in light green to distinguish them from Wikipedia's official sister projects. A list of such templates can be found at Wikipedia:List of templates linking to other free content projects.

Link maintenance

Linking and continual change are both central features of Wikipedia. However, continual change makes linking vulnerable to acquired technical faults, and to the later provision of different information from that which was originally intended. This is true of both "outgoing" links (from an article) and "incoming" links (to an article).

• Outgoing links: These should be checked from time to time for unintended changes that are undesirable. If the opportunity arises to improve their formatting, appropriateness, and focus, this should be done.
• Incoming links: Creating an article will turn blue any existing red links to its title (proper redlinks are created only in the hope that an article will eventually be written). Therefore, when creating an article, it is wise to check "What links here" to identify such redlinks, if any, and that they are appropriate.
