===Interwiki links===
Interwiki links can be used to link to other wikis affiliated with Bulbapedia, such as [[Bulbagarden Archives]], [[Bulbanews]], Wikipedia, other members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], and other members of [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance|NIWA]]. To link to another wiki, simply use square brackets like a normal link, but place the prefix at the start of the link.
When linking to an Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis member via this method, there must be a colon : before the prefix, or it will not link correctly.
Example:
<code><nowiki>[[wp:Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki></code>
Will make:
[[wp:Pokémon|Pokémon]]
'''Note''': most interwiki prefixes have identically named templates, so to link to Wikipedia's article on Pokémon, it can be achieved by typing <code><nowiki>[[wp:Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{wp|Pokémon}}</nowiki></code>.

===Incomplete link===
When using interwiki links or linking to pages not in the main namespace, typing <code><nowiki>[[prefix:Link name|]]</nowiki></code> causes it to be substituted by <code><nowiki>[[prefix:Link name|Link name]]</nowiki></code> after saving the page.
Example:
<code><nowiki>[[Template:Welcome|]]</nowiki></code>
Will be substituted to:
<code><nowiki>[[Template:Welcome|Welcome]]</nowiki></code>
Will make:
[[Template:Welcome|Welcome]]

However, an external picture not in the archives may also be placed with exactly the same technique:
