+As you might have guessed, TracLinks are a very fundamental feature of Trac.
+
+They allow easy hyperlinking to files, changesets, bugs/issues and wiki pages from anywhere in the system where WikiFormatting is used. 
+
+TracLinks can refer to tickets, reports and changesets by simply writing the
+ticket, report and changeset numbers in the following notation:
+{{{
+ * Ticket #1 or ticket:1
+ * Report {1} or report:1
+ * Changeset [1] or changeset:1
+ * File source:trunk/COPYING.
+}}}
+Display:
+ * Ticket #1 or ticket:1
+ * Report {1} or report:1
+ * Changeset [1] or changeset:1
+ * File source:trunk/COPYING.
+
+Trac links can also be given a custom link title like this:
+{{{
+[ticket:1 This is a link to ticket number one].
+}}}
+
+Display:
+
+[ticket:1 This is a link to ticket number one].
+
+It seems a simple enough concept at a glance, but actually allows quite a complex network of information. 
+
+In practice, it's very intuitive and simple to use, and we've found the "link trail" extremely helpful to better understand what's happening in a project or why a particular change was made.
+
+== source: links ==
+
+The default behavior for a source:/some/path link is to open the directory browser if the path points
+to a directory and otherwise open the log view. It's also possible to link directly to a specific
+revision of a file like this: source:/some/file#123 or like this to link to the latest revision:
+source:/some/file#latest.
+
+== Where to use TracLinks ==
+You can use TracLinks in:
+
+ * Wiki pages
+ * Ticket descriptions
+ * Source code (Subversion) commit messages
