At our company, we have an internal wiki, the access to which is restricted to a specific group. If someone from outside that group attempts access, they will be diverted to the special MediaWiki message page: MediaWiki:Badaccess-groups.

I have changed the MediaWiki:Badaccess-groups page to contain specific help text. I want to add a link to a wiki page that explains more information. Here's the problem: when I add that link it displays it correctly for me. But for other users it displays as if I'm using <nowiki> tags; literally: [[link]].

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Why not just simply link it using html sending them to the page. It's not really the built in way but, it works.

    Well I suggest at least upvoting or accepting an answer then. The question gets bumped periodically, and lets people know that it is an unanswered question.

What if you try using the hyperlink button to make the link? Or, make an external link that just goes to the Wiki page you're trying to link to.

  • if I press the link button I get the standard formatting: [[link]]. I see it as a link - other users do not (they see [[link]]). I'll clarify the question.
