** Short links: There are several quick links which are not only useful, but common style. For example, when linking to a Pokémon article, typing <code><nowiki>{{p|Pikachu}}</nowiki></code> results in {{p|Pikachu}}, which you may notice links to the article ''Pikachu (Pokémon)'' on Bulbapedia. Another quick link is <code><nowiki>{{m|Splash}}</nowiki></code> for the move {{m|Splash}}, for example. | ** Short links: There are several quick links which are not only useful, but common style.

**External links: Other links can be done with using a single bracket. In this instance, a vertical line is not necessary to divide the name from the link. However, the full address is needed to link to a page. For example, to link to the Bulbagarden forums, typing <code><nowiki>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]</nowiki></code> would result in [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]. External links are primarily used to cite sources and to link to any related Web sites. | **External links: Other links can be done with using a single bracket.

* Headlines: These are not to be confused with traditional news article headlines. Wiki articles are divided by levels of headlines, much like a large outline. These are indicated by equals signs on either side of the headline text. There are six levels of headlines, with one equals sign being the first and highest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>=Headline text=</nowiki></code>, and six equals signs being the sixth and lowest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>======Headline text======</nowiki></code>. First and second level headlines are underlined. Text size decreases with lower level headlines. | * Headlines: These are not to be confused with traditional news article headlines.
