===Linking to internal articles on MansonWiki===
One of the most important aspects of a Wiki oriented website is the ability to browse from one article to the next based on links provided in the article. The most predominant links are internal links which are article titles which already exist on MansonWiki. For example if I am editing the page for the song [[Coma White]] any term such as a band member, album title, or related subject that I write in the article will be linked by adding double brackets to the term for example: <nowiki>[[Coma White]]</nowiki> becomes [[Coma White]]. Proper capitalization and spelling is important when linking internally, as the title must be an exact match of the article already registered in the database. If the <nowiki>[[Article doesn't exist]]</nowiki> or is capitalized improperly, <nowiki>[[Coma white]]</nowiki> a grey, dotted line will appear. You may also link to an article using another term for the title as long as the proper title appears before the solid line in an internal link. Example: <nowiki>[[The High End of Low|Manson's seventh studio album]]</nowiki> [[The High End of Low|Manson's seventh studio album]] was released in May of 2009.
