Creating wikilinks is extremely easy. You just place [[ and ]] round the outside of the word you want to link, and Robert is the brother of your parent. This simplicity of formatting has worked beautifully in encouraging editors to add links. Unfortunately, the same ease and simplicity has been known to dupe editors into forgetting that many words and phrases are used in a whole variety of different senses. Thankfully, your computer has magical telepathic powers, so it knows exactly what you meant and can direct the link to the appropriate article, so readers won't be confused or mislead by links to the wrong thing and other editors won't have to give up their time and effort to correct your mistakes.
However, you may wish direct your link to the right place by yourself.
