'''Links''' (particularly '''wikilinks''') are one of the ''key'' components of Wikipedia. A [[help:wikilink|wikilink]] connects to another page on the encyclopaedia and ties the whole thing together.

In general, wikilinks should be added for the [[MOS:LINK|first occurrence]] of important concepts for the topic. Links can be added through the {{menu icon|[[File:VisualEditor_-_Toolbar_-_Linking_(small).png|25px|link=]]|non}} menu, or by using the shortcut {{key press|Ctrl|K}}.

Using the linking menu or shortcut creates a dialog box that allows you to search for relevant internal links within Wikipedia. Pressing {{key press|Enter}} or the "{{int:visualeditor-dialog-action-done}}" button causes the link to appear on the VisualEditor page.

In articles, this is generally appropriate only in the '''External links''' section, at the bottom of the page. (To insert a URL as a supporting reference in an article, see the [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide#Editing_references|references tutorial]]!
