			==Navigating page to page==
			To navigate pages, you have to create your own hyperlinks. Fortunately it is easy. Copy the URL at the top of one page into a hyperlink on another page. Save your work and now when that hyperlink is activated, the Wiki goes to that page.

			For example, if you have a table of contents, each entry can have a link to a respective page. From the other pages, you can have a return hyperlink back to the Table of Contents. Copy/paste the return hyperlink onto other pages and save time.

	Note: Non-Boost themes have a '''New''' option from the navigation block for creating new pages, but you will still need to copy and paste the name of the new page onto the immediate parent page and surround it with double brackets. This creates a link to your new page and makes it accessible from the main Wiki page. Otherwise nobody will recognise the so called lost new page.
