In MediaWiki software, (which Conservapedia uses) it is done by putting the term in double square brackets.  For example, "<nowiki>[[wikifying]]</nowiki>".  It is not necessary to use underscores in items of multiple words; plain spaces, which look more natural to the reader, work.  For example, "<nowiki>[[Main page]]</nowiki>" goes to the page with title "Main_page".

Be sure the wikilink is correct.  In the review window, it should show up in the appropriate color (typically blue) and should be able to be clicked on.  If it is wrong, you have the dreaded "red link".
