-WikiLinks can be entered in any case you like, the page they link to is
-always lowercased.
+Also, if the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will
+be displayed inline on the page.
 
-While a WikiLink is limited to alphanumerics and only a few special
-charaters, it is possible to create page names containing other characters:
+WikiLinks are matched with page names in a case-insensitive manner, so you
+don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise
+links at the start of a sentence, and so on.
 
-* To display a page name with a space in it, use "_" in the WikiLink, for
-  example, [[Multi_Word_Page_Name]]. 
-* For any other special character, you can use "__nnnn__" where `nnnn` is the
-  unicode character number. For example,
-  [[This_page_name_is__44___uselessly__44___a_complete_sentence__46__]]
-  Limiting use of this to when you really need it is a good idea.
+It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the
+page name as the link text. For example "\[[foo_bar|SandBox]]" links to the
+SandBox page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]]

+To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like
+"\[[WikiLink#foo]]"

+**Note that you cannot use spaces in WikiLinks**. Replace spaces with
+underscores.
