This is a documentation subpage for Template:Plainlink . |
This template will allow you to create a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) on a page without having the external link icon follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See URLs on other Wikimedia projects for more information.
Caution
When you link to a Wikipedia or other Wikimedia project URL, omit the preceding "http:", or "https:", so that the URL begins with "//". This allows users to use the protocol they're currently using.
You can use Template:Tnull magicword to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.
Examples
{{Plainlink|url=//www.wikipedia.org}}gives [1]{{Plainlink|//www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}}gives Wikipedia{{Plainlink|//www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}}gives Wikipedia{{Plainlink|http://www.google.co.uk|Google}}gives Google
Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:
{{ Plainlink | url=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764 | name="=" }}gives "="
