You can easily create a link from one page to another within the same wiki: 

  1. In the destination page (the page to which you want your link to point), copy the URL of the page from the browser address bar. 
  2. In the page you want to change, click Edit. 
  3. At the place on the page where you want the link to appear, paste the URL. Confluence automatically converts the URL to a link with the title of the page as the link text. 
  4. Consider keeping the link text as it is, so that Confluence will automatically update the link if the page title changes. (Refer to the note below.) However, you can edit the link text, if necessary. 
  5. If necessary, edit the link address:
    1. Click the link text. A row of buttons appears.
    2. Click Edit. The Edit link dialog box appears. 
    3. Select one of the following options:
      • Select Search. Enter the page title. Select the title from the list.
      • Select Recently viewed. Select the title from the list.
    4. Click Save. 

Avoid using the wiki Tiny Link when linking from one page to another within the same wiki. Such a link does not show up in the list of Incoming Links for the destination page.

To link to a website

  1. Type the link text and highlight it.
  2. Click the link icon in the Confluence editor.
  3. In the dialog, navigate to Web Link and enter the URL for the website.

To link to another wiki page

  1. To use link text other than the page title, type the link text and highlight it. To use the page title, place the cursor where you want the link.
  2. Click the link icon in the Confluence editor.
  3. In the dialog, navigate to Search or Recently Viewed and enter the page title (for search); select the title from the list.

If you link to a site other than a US government site, include the destination in or adjacent to the link text, for example "on the HL7 website." Add the exit disclaimer in the XHTML immediately following the link.

Note
titleNote

If

you link to a page by its title and

someone changes the title of the page to which you

've

have linked

to

, the

link will change automatically. If you have used the page title supplied by the link dialog as the link text, it will change. Any link text that you typed does not change; this includes the page title, if you typed it.If you have linked by page title, and someone changes the page title you have linked to, your page will indicate it was last edited by the person who changed the title of the page you linked to. If your page is restricted for viewing and editing, it will still be shown as having been changed by this person, who may not have permissions to edit or even to view your page.

result depends on how you specified the link text:

  • If you kept the link text provided by Confluence, then Confluence updates the link automatically. Here is an example of this type of link, as it appears in the Source Editor:

    Code Block
    <p>Refer to <ac:link>
    <ri:page ri:content-title="Links"/>
  </ac:link>.</p>

  • If you edited the link text, then Confluence does not update the link. Here is an example of this type of link, as it appears in the Source Editor:

    Code Block
    <p>Refer to <ac:link>
    <ri:page ri:content-title="Links"/>
    <ac:plain-text-link-body><![CDATA[All about Links]]></ac:plain-text-link-body>
  </ac:link>.</p>
