To start with, let's make a link.

Here is a simple link to a page on this wiki: P2P 

 When you type it into a page you type it like this: [[P2P]]

You'll immediately notice the double brackets. These are "mediawiki markup". This double bracket link is used for an internal link; it points to a page on the wiki called "P2P".

There are two types of links in a wiki, internal and external. 

Internal links use double brackets to surround a page name [[Page Name]]
External links use single brackets to surround a page name [http://PageName.com]

You can also write an external link without any brackets as http://pagename.com

You might want to write an external link with brackets, though, because then you can make them say something like Google instead of simple the url as http://google.com.
