between different pages in a wiki

Linking one Wiki page to another is an important part of building a wiki site

It allows you to direct the viewer to go in the direction you want for the wiki to achieve its purpose

It allows the viewer to move around the wiki and back to the Table of Contents page as he/she wishes

When the wiki is downloaded to a CD and viewed via an Internet browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla, it can be viewed like any other web site when the pages are linked
