Wikipedia: Piped link

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

A piped link is a link like [[train station|station]], showing up as station: the link is labeled differently from the name of the article it links to, "Train station".

In the case of a category link, a piped link serves to sort the article alphabetically within the category. For example, to place Albert Einstein in Category:Physicists, you can link the article to [[Category:Physicists|Einstein, Albert]], and the category will then alphabetize him under Einstein rather than Albert.

See m:Help:Piped link for full details on this feature.

Please note that links to "year-in-x" articles should be labeled accordingly, and not with just the year. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), Wikipedia:WikiProject Music standards, Wikipedia talk:Music standards archive 1 and Talk:Bad Religion for discussion and further details on this.
