Linking to Wikipedia articles

I wonder if it's allowed to link to articles from Wikipedia to help better explain some things, for when there is no other dedicated article on the Consumer Action Taskforce wiki. For example, I came across a sentence on the article (on here) for YouTube, talking about the game of cat and mouse between adblockers and YouTube's bypasses reflecting the Streisand effect. I couldn't remember what it was, so I went to Wikipedia to look up Streisand effect there to remind myself. Could I make it so you can save a few extra clicks by making "Streisand effect" hyperlink to the Wikipedia article on it?

Hey, @Someoneontheinternet. Yes this is allowed and actually encouraged! Some things don't fit the criteria for inclusion on the wiki or it just does not make sense to recreate them away from wikipedia. I cases like you describe adding a link by using [[wikipedia:Open_source| the link text]] to get the link text is what is recommended. Kostas (talk) 23:45, 8 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Changing the displayed image for a brand/product

How does one change the image that displays the logo of the brand/product on a page for it?
