-While a WikiLink is limited to alphanumerics and only a few special
-charaters, it is possible to create page names containing other characters:
-
-* 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.
-

 Note that if the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will
 be displayed inline on the page.

+It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the
+page name as the link text. For example "\[[foo|SandBox]]" links to the
+SandBox page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo|SandBox]]
