===Linking to Other Articles on WikiIslam=== | |||
Within the text of articles, you can provide hyperlinks, highlighted in blue text, to other articles on WikiIslam, for example [[Textual History of the Qur'an]]. This can be done both in the visual editor and in the source editor. In the visual editor, simply type in [[ and the editor will prompt you to choose the article you desire via a search. In the source editor, the exact name of the article must be put into double brackets, like so: <nowiki>[[Textual History of the Qur'an]]</nowiki>. If you wish to use another piece of text besides the name of the article as the link, [[Textual History of the Qur'an|like so]], you can use the pipe in the source editor. To produce the previous example, the markup language looks like this: <nowiki>[[Textual History of the Qur'an|like so]]</nowiki>. | |||

Templates can also be used to link to sources outside WikiIslam, particularly the Qur'an and the hadith. WikiIslam uses www.quranx.com for this purpose. The template <code><nowiki>{{Quran|surah number|ayah number}}</nowiki></code> will produce a link to the specified surah (chapter) and ayah (verse). For example, to like to surat-al-baqarah (surah number 2), ayah 36 the template format would be <code><nowiki>{{Quran|2|36}}</nowiki></code>. For a series of ayahs the following template cane be used: <code><nowiki>{{Quran|surah number|first ayah in series|last ayah in series}}</nowiki></code>. For example for surat-al-baqarah verse 20-23 the format would be <nowiki>{{Quran|2|20|23}}</nowiki>. All of the "Sahih Six" or authoritative Sunni collections of hadith also have templates which link to QuranX. Below you can see examples of all of their uses: | ||
