href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Links" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Links">link</a> that displays text different from the title of the page to which the text links. It is created with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikitext" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Wikitext">wikitext</a> (markup code) that results in <a href="/wiki/Hyperlink" title="Hyperlink">hyperlinked</a> (underlined, clickable) text. It is called "piped" because it uses the <a href="/wiki/Pipe_character" class="mw-redirect" title="Pipe character">pipe character</a> ("<code class="mw-highlight mw-highlight-lang-text mw-content-ltr" style="" dir="ltr">|</code>") or vertical bar. </p><p>For example, the wikitext <code>[[train station|station]]</code> displays as <a href="/wiki/Train_station" title="Train station">station</a> but links to the Wikipedia article about <a href="/wiki/Train_station" title="Train station">train stations</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages#Piping_and_redirects" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages">Do not confuse piped links and redirects</a>: they are two very different mechanisms. Both allow the displayed text of a link to differ from the title of the final destination page (the page that a reader will see after clicking that link). However, a piped link conceals the destination page's title <i>only</i> in that single line on the single page where its wikitext is used, while on any page throughout Wikipedia any link, piped or not, to a specific redirect page will always lead to the same destination page. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Use" data-mw-thread-id="h-Use"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Use"></span>Use<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Use"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Piped_link&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main page: <a href="/wiki/Help:Piped_link" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Piped link">Help:Piped link</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#Piped_links" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking">Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking § Piped links</a></div> <p>Piped links are useful for preserving the grammatical structure and flow of a sentence when: </p> <ol><li>the wording of the exact link title does not fit in context (see <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetacea#:~:text=Cetaceans%20have%20been%20extensively%20hunted%20for%20their%20meat">here</a> as an example), or</li> <li>there are multiple meanings of the word (see "<a href="/wiki/Mercury" class="mw-disambig" title="Mercury">Mercury</a>" example on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation" title="Wikipedia:Disambiguation">Disambiguation</a> page).</li></ol> <p>The pipe ("<b>|</b>") character is also known as a <a href="/wiki/Vertical_bar" title="Vertical bar">vertical bar</a>. </p><p>There are two ways to create the pipe ("<b>|</b>") character: using the keyboard or choosing from a list of symbols.

On French (AZERTY) keyboards, the pipe character can be obtained by pressing <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1249182868"><kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">AltGr</kbd>+<kbd class="keyboard-key nowrap">6</kbd>. Or note that, when you are in "edit this page" mode, the "pipe" appears as the third character in the "<b>Wiki markup</b>" section at the bottom of the page, among the list of symbols. (You may need to choose "Wiki markup" on the pull-down menu.) Clicking on the pipe symbol <i>there</i> inserts it at the cursor spot, just as happens for any symbol chosen from this page. </p><p>For full details on how to use this feature, see <b><a href="/wiki/Help:Piped_link" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Piped link">Help:Piped link</a></b>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="When_not_to_use" data-mw-thread-id="h-When_not_to_use"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-When_not_to_use"></span>When not to use<span data-mw-comment-end="h-When_not_to_use"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Piped_link&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: When not to use"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="WP:NOPIPE"></span><span id="WP:NOPIPEDLINK"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcuts</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOPIPE&redirect=no">WP:NOPIPE</a></span></li><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOPIPEDLINK&redirect=no">WP:NOPIPEDLINK</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="NOT"></span> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">"WP:NOPIPE" redirects here.

And that category page will list him as "Albert Einstein". But if this link is used in this simplest form, it will list the title (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Lemma" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Lemma">lemma</a>) among the "A"s, instead of the "E"s (where he belongs), because it sorts on the article's name, "Albert Einstein". </p><p>One way to impose correct sort order is to use <code>[[Category:Theoretical physicists|Einstein, Albert]]</code>, which makes that category page list "Albert Einstein" among the "E"s (between "Martin B. Einhorn" and "Leonard Eisenbud"), by sorting it <i>as if</i> it were "Einstein, Albert" rather than "Albert Einstein". </p><p>However, the <i>actual</i> <a href="/wiki/Albert_Einstein" title="Albert Einstein">Albert Einstein</a> page has 83 category links. Piping every category link would be unattractive. As is standard for most "person" pages, that page uses the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Template" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Template">template</a> <code>{{DEFAULTSORT:Einstein, Albert}}</code> to override the default sorting for category links. Thus <code>[[Category:Theoretical physicists]]</code> on that page, places him in <a href="/wiki/Category:Theoretical_physicists" title="Category:Theoretical physicists">Category:Theoretical physicists</a> as "Albert Einstein", <i>and</i> makes that category page sort him as "Einstein, Albert", without need of a piped link, and likewise for 81 other category links. </p><p>But because of this template that page <i>needs</i> to <i>pipe</i> the category link, <code>[[Category:Einstein family|Albert]]</code>, to place him in <a href="/wiki/Category:Einstein_family" title="Category:Einstein family">Category:Einstein family</a> <i>and</i> make (only) that category alphabetize him under "Albert". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2
