We need to have any references to the Administration Panels in articles and documentation linked to the <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Administration Panels</a> page such as in this example: <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Administration</a> > <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Manage_-_Change_your_content" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Manage</a> > <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Posts" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Posts</a> </p><p>The technique means finding the Panel Titles and putting them into a link to that page or it's subcontents. Below is an example of what this actually looks like when viewed in the editing screen. To get the link to the subsection of the page, view the page and right click on the link from the table of contents or (in this example) from within the pink boxes listing the various sections of the Administration Panels, and copy the shortcut or link location. Paste it in the appropriate place and remove the <tt>http://codex.wordpress.org/</tt> part of the link. </p> <pre>[[Administration Panels|Administration]] > [[Administration_Panels#Manage_-_Change_your_content|Manage]] > [[Administration_Panels#Posts|Posts]] </pre> <p>Here is another example. </p> <dl><dd>To allow comments on a post already written, from the <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Administration Panels</a> choose <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Manage_-_Change_your_content" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Manage</a> > <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Posts" title="Administration Panels" class="mw-redirect">Posts</a> and choose <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Write_Post_SubPanel#Advanced_Post_Editing" title="Write Post SubPanel">Edit</a> and change the setting for <b>Allow Comments</b>. </dd></dl> <p><b>Sign up</b><br/> 1. <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Millera4" title="User:Millera4">NerdStarGamer</a> 16:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)<br/> 2. <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Wet" title="User:Wet">wet</a> 19:34, 01 March 2011 (UTC)<br/> 3. <br/> 4. <br/> </p> <a name="About_WordPress" id="About_WordPress"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"><a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/About_WordPress" title="About WordPress">About WordPress</a></span></h2> <p><b>Coordinator(s):</b> <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Carthik" title="User:Carthik">Carthik</a> </p><p><br/> </p> <a name="Getting_Started_with_WordPress" id="Getting_Started_with_WordPress"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"><a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress" title="Getting Started with WordPress">Getting Started with WordPress</a></span></h2> <p>This area of the Codex includes information on how to get started with WordPress from checking program requirements, installation, upgrading, and the first steps a user may take with WordPress. </p><p><b>Coordinator(s):</b> </p> <a name="Integrating_WordPress_into_your_Website" id="Integrating_WordPress_into_your_Website"></a><h3> <span class="mw-headline">Integrating WordPress into your Website</span></h3> <p><b>Difficulty Level: EXPERT</b> </p><p>The article <a href="/web/20130117000733/http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website" title="Integrating Wordpress with Your Website" class="mw-redirect">Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website</a> is not an "article" but links to external sites with information.
