How to link to Maps from Wiki

This is probably a very basic question, but how do I link to the Maps tab from the Wiki. Using the brackets doesn't work. Any thoughts?

    Use a regular link to the address copied from your browser's address bar. This will take the form:

    _"Link Text":Address_

    Yeah, but this is limiting if you plan to change maps. There's no way to automatically update all the wiki pages that link to a specific map when you delete it, is there?

    It's been a few years, so I'll dare and reanimate this one from the grave: Still not possible to link directly to maps in a better way?

    Add to the features hopper? Make maps another type of wiki page(like characters, wiki pages, and item pages all used to be separate by default)?

    @weasel0- I have had maps as a wiki page since pre-reforge. Works great.

    Not directly related, but sometimes when I put a wiki link in a map marker, it works just fine, but sometimes it doesn't read as a link, and shows the code once I've saved the marker.  What am I doing wrong?

    Can you provide a link to the map where you have non working link?

    They are among us!
