Template:Plain link/doc

Template page

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

  • {{Plainlink|<url=http://starcitizen.tools/w/index.php?title=Carrack&oldid=282228764>|<name="=">}} gives "="
  • {{Plainlink|<http://starcitizen.tools/w/index.php?title{{=}}Carrack&oldid{{=}}282228764>|<"{{=}}">}} gives "="
