Click help at the bottom of the input area and it shows a guide. [name of page] (url) <- without the space in the middle

That is how to make a link in a comment. To make a link in an article, highlight the text you want to be a link, and click on the link button whose icon is a three link chain. This will bring up a dialog box with an input for the url.

without the space in the middle

You can show the literal text "[name of page](url)" by escaping the control characters with "\", you would enter "\[name of page\]\(url\)".
