Wikipedia:Self link


 * For the main help page on self links, see Help:Self link.

This is a discussion of self links that is specific to Wikipedia.

A self link for use with the "Related changes" feature only works if the link is to an existing or non-existing section. If it cannot be made useful as a link to a section, use a piped link with a blank space as label, e.g. , showing up as " ".

Do not use self-links to make the article name bold in the first paragraph; see the Manual of Style.
