+## Links to Other Wiki Pages
+
+You can link to other pages on your wiki in a few different ways.
+
+### Direct Page Link
+
+A link which just includes the slug for a page will point to that page, _at the base level of the wiki_.
+
+1. This snippet would link to a `documentation` page at the root of your wiki.
+
+```markdown
+[Link to Documentation](documentation)
+```
+
+### Direct File Link
+
+Links with a file extension point to that file, _relative to the current page_.
+
+1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `/documentation/related`, it would link to `/documentation/file.md`.
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to File](file.md)
+ ```
+
+### Hierarchical Link
+
+A link can be constructed relative to the current wiki page using `./`, `../`, etc.
+
+1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `/documentation/main`, it would link to `/documentation/related`.
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](./related)
+ ```
+
+1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `/documentation/related/content`, it would link to `/documentation/main`.
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](../main)
+ ```
+
+1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `/documentation/main`, it would link to `/documentation/related.md`.
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](./related.md)
+ ```
+
+1. If this snippet was placed on a page at `/documentation/related/content`, it would link to `/documentation/main.md`.
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](../main.md)
+ ```
+
+### Root Link
+
+A link starting with a `/` is relative to the wiki root, for non-file links.
+
+1. This snippet links to `/documentation`
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](/documentation)
+ ```
+
+1. This snippet links to `/miscellaneous.md`
+
+ ```markdown
+ [Link to Related Page](/miscellaneous.md)
+ ```
