If you want to link to a site outside Wikipedia, it should always go under "External links" at the end of an article. External links only use one square bracket. So if we want to make a link to google, all that's needed is: [http://www.google.com]. This will display the raw web address, including the "http://" -- in many cases this raw address is ugly and uninformative. If you want the link to appear differently, add an alternative title after the address, separated by a space (NOT a pipe). So if we want the link to have a title we can do this:

   [http://www.google.com Google's international page]

It would appear like this:

Google's international page

but would link to google.com
