:If you're linking to Memory Alpha, add ma: to the start of the link, so it becomes <nowiki>[[ma:Tactical officer]]</nowiki> (Resultant link: [[ma:Tactical officer]]).
:If you're linking to Memory Alpha, add ma: to the start of the link, so it becomes <nowiki>[[ma:Tactical officer]]</nowiki> (Resultant link: [[ma:Tactical officer]]).
:For wikipedia, replace the ma: bit with wp: so it becomes <nowiki>[[wp:Tactical officer]]</nowiki> (Resultant link: [[wp:Tactical officer]]).
:For wikipedia, replace the ma: bit with wp: so it becomes <nowiki>[[wp:Tactical officer]]</nowiki> (Resultant link: [[wp:Tactical officer]]).
:To make either of the above links appear simply as "Tactical officer" on the page, add a vertical bar and text after the line, as you would on a roster with a link to a profile. e.g. <nowiki>[[ma:Tactical officer|Tactical officer]]</nowiki> appears as [[ma:Tactical officer|Tactical officer]] (notice the ma: has vanished) and links to Memory Alpha. This works just the same way as how <nowiki>[[Harden, Julia|Julia Harden]]</nowiki> would link to [[Harden, Julia]] but would appear within the article as Julia Harden.
:Now, to change the appearance of a link... If you look at a roster, you'll see that the names are laid out in the spoken style, e.g. Julia Harden. However, page titles are in a formal style, e.g. Harden, Julia. If you look at the coding for the link on the roster, it would appear as <nowiki>[[Harden, Julia|Julia Harden]]</nowiki>. The vertical bar is key here; the text before it is the article title (Harden, Julia), while the text after it is what the link appears as on the page (Julia Harden).
:The same principle works with interwiki links too. To make either of the above "Tactical officer" interwiki links appear simply as "Tactical officer" on the page, add the vertical bar and the relevent text after the line. e.g. <nowiki>[[ma:Tactical officer|Tactical officer]]</nowiki> appears as [[ma:Tactical officer|Tactical officer]] (notice the ma: has vanished) and links to Memory Alpha.
