Template:Plainlink/doc
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 File:External.svg follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See Help:URL 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}}
