## Links to Other Wiki Pages
You can link to other pages on your wiki in a few different ways.
### Direct Page Link
A link which just includes the slug for a page will point to that page, _at the base level of the wiki_.
1. This snippet would link to a `documentation` page at the root of your wiki.
```markdown
[Link to Documentation](documentation)
```
### Direct File Link
Links with a file extension point to that file, _relative to the current page_.
1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `<your_wiki>/documentation/related`, it would link to `<your_wiki>/documentation/file.md`.
```markdown
[Link to File](file.md)
```
### Hierarchical Link
A link can be constructed relative to the current wiki page using `./<page>`, `../<page>`, etc.
1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `<your_wiki>/documentation/main`, it would link to `<your_wiki>/documentation/related`.
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](./related)
```
1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `<your_wiki>/documentation/related/content`, it would link to `<your_wiki>/documentation/main`.
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](../main)
```
1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `<your_wiki>/documentation/main`, it would link to `<your_wiki>/documentation/related.md`.
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](./related.md)
```
1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `<your_wiki>/documentation/related/content`, it would link to `<your_wiki>/documentation/main.md`.
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](../main.md)
```
### Root Link
A link starting with a `/` is relative to the wiki root, for non-file links.
1. This snippet links to `<wiki_root>/documentation`
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](/documentation)
```
1. This snippet links to `<wiki_root>/miscellaneous.md`
```markdown
[Link to Related Page](/miscellaneous.md)
```
