From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The link must be the exact title of an existing Wikipedia page, otherwise it will show a red link. For example, we have an article titled "Kickboxing" so if I put [[Kickboxing]] it will work: Kickboxing. We do not have an article called "Kick-boxer", so [[Kick-boxer]] will result in a red link, Kick-boxer.
If you wanted to link the word "Kick-boxer" to the article on Kickboxing, this can be done with [[Kickboxing|Kick-boxer]] which links the word "Kick-boxer" to the article "Kickboxing", and appears like this: Kick-boxer.

Thus, in an article, you would write...

He was a [[Kickboxing|kick-boxer]].

...which would come out as;

He was a kick-boxer.
