Thanks - I know how to do external links on a Wiki page.  I just don't know
how to obtain separate url's within the Encyclopaedia itself.  If you go to
Demandred's character page, and Sorilea's character page, they both have the
same link.  I'm not sure where these instructions you refer to are, or if
they even address my problem.  :(
