==Introduction==
This page will explain how ‘toplink’ is used acorss the wiki. Examples of optimal use of 'toplink' can be seen in the pages of the [[Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology|lymphatic system]] and [[Haematopoiesis and Blood Cells - WikiBlood|haematopoiesis]] sections of the wiki.
==Structure==
Essentially the wiki sections have the following structure (example on left):
{|style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; border:solid 1px #AAAAAA;"
!Page type
!Example
|-align="center"
|[[#Section Main Page|Section Main Page]]
|[[Anatomy and Physiology|Anatomy & Physiology]]

===Section Main Page===
Contains link back to the wiki home page (‘[[Main Page]]’)
===System Main Page===
<p>On the toplink on the system main page the link naturaly returns to the section main page.</p>
''E.g. [[Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphatic system]] page has the link to ‘[[Anatomy and Physiology|Anatomy & Physiology]]’''
===System Subpages===
<p>Here the toplink simply returns to the system main page.</p>
''E.g. [[Lymphoreticular System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphoreticular system]] returns to ‘[[Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphatic system]]’''
===Further Subpages===
<p>Here the toplink contains the first link back to the system main page and the second link always returns to the page that is above that page in the “hierarchy”.</p>
''E.g. [[Primary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|Primary lymphoid tissue]] has its main link back to ‘[[Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphatic system]]’ and the second link to ‘[[Lymphoreticular System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphoreticular system]]’''<br>
''E.g. [[Thymus - Anatomy & Physiology|Thymus]]has its main link back to ‘[[Lymphatic System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphatic system]]’ and the second link to ‘[[Primary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|Primary Lymphoid tissue]]’''
==Theory==
<p>In this way the user can always get back to the page they have come from in the and the main section page in the section hierachy, while avoiding having many links if a page is several layers down the page hierarchy.</p>
<p>More than one sublink should be kept to a minimum as there is no need to have a link back to every page that is mildly relevant. However there are times where more than one link is appropriate.</p>
''E.g. [[Lymphoreticular System - Anatomy & Physiology|Lymphoreticular system]] has a sublink to [[Immunology - WikiBlood|immunology]] as that is a major link from [[WikiBlood]]''
