A self link is a link to the page itself. It appears as bold text when the article is viewed. Examples:

• Ireland Information Guide:Self link - [[Ireland Information Guide:Self link]]
• piped self link - [[Ireland Information Guide:Self link|piped self link]]

An indirect self link is a link to a page that redirects back. Though it is undesirable, it is shown as a regular link, e.g.:

• Self link

A self link for use with Related Changes only works if the link is to an existing or non-existing section. If it cannot be made useful as a link to a section, use a piped link with a blank space as label, e.g. [[Ireland Information Guide:Self link#x| ]], showing up as " ".
