Below is how to use and create external links on Sunshine Review.
How to link
Link with no text (code and example output):
[http://example.com/] [1]
Link containing text:
[http://example.com/ The RFC-mandated example.com website] The RFC-mandated example.com website
All text following a space is taken as the text to use for the link. Embedding wikilinks into the link text is incorrect; instead choose the appropriate words to link.
"The [[RFC]]-mandated [http://example.com/ example.com website]". "The RFC-mandated example.com website".
External links section
If an article has external links, the standard format is to place them in a bulleted list under a primary heading at the end of the article. External links should identify the link and briefly summarize the website's contents and why the website is relevant to the article. The heading should be "External links" (plural) even if there is only a single link listed. If several external links are listed and the subject of the article is a living person, organization, web service, or otherwise has an official website, it is normal practice to place the link to that site at the top of the list (if it is not already in an appropriate infobox).
If you link to another website, you should give your reader a good summary of the site's contents, and the reasons why this specific website is relevant to the article in question. If you link to an online article, try to provide as much meaningful article information as possible. For example:
== External links == * [http://example.com/link_1 Link 1] * [http://example.com/link_2 Link 2]
References and citation
Sites that have been used as sources in the creation of an article should be cited in the article, and linked as references, either in-line or in a references section. Links to these source sites are not "external links" for the purposes of this guideline, and should not be placed in an external links section.
