Linking to Wikipedia
Hi HigherPath,

Thanks for your work on the Physical Fitness honor. You may have noticed that I undid some of your changes. At Wikibooks, we do not typically link to external sources (including Wikipedia articles), but rather, wish for the works here to be able to stand on their own. It is better to bring the material in and add it to the book rather than linking to it. However, sometimes a link is better than adding the content. If you wish to link to an article in Wikipedia, we have a special syntax for doing that:

text.

The above syntax will link to the Wikipedia article named "article_name" and the word "text" will replace the link.

If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 18:17, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
