[Mediawiki-l] Format for links in the Navigation Bar

[Curios Oates]

I have a page titled "Basic Questions" and its pathway from the Main  
Page is this:

Main Page > Journal > Basic Questions

For the Navigation side bar, how exactly do I format the text to  
create the link that will take the user directly from the Main Page  
to the Basic Questions?

I understand the format is  "** target|link text"  but I do not  
understand this, even with the examples given. How would you write  
out for the above example?

For the URL I am using the default version, not the "prettier" one,  
in case that's relevant.

Thanks in advance.
