Template:Plain link/doc

Template:Tsh 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 icon follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links.

Examples

• {{Plain link |url=//www.starcitizen.tools}} gives [{{safesubst:#if:1|//www.starcitizen.tools }}]
• {{Plain link |//www.starcitizen.tools Star Citizen Wiki}} gives [{{safesubst:#if:1|//www.starcitizen.tools Star Citizen Wiki }}]
• {{Plain link |http://www.starcitizen.tools | Star Citizen Wiki}} gives [{{safesubst:#if:1|http://www.starcitizen.tools Star Citizen Wiki}}]

Notes

Do not leave a space before the start of the URL, it confuses the [ URL ] parser.

If you leave the "scheme" (http: or https:) off the start of the URL parameter, the hyperlink will use the current page's protocol.

If your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters or Template:Tl:

• Template:Tlx gives [{{safesubst:#if:1|http://starcitizen.tools/w/index.php?title=Carrack&oldid=282228764 "="}}]
• Template:Tlx gives [{{safesubst:#if:1|http://starcitizen.tools/w/index.php?title=Carrack&oldid=282228764 "="}}]

TemplateData
