Template:Wlink/doc: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Normally, if you want to link to a Wikipedia article such as {{w|just intonation}}, you have to write the entire title twice (<code><nowiki>[[Wikipedia: Just intonation|Just intonation]]</nowiki></code>), and it's a hassle. This template skips that step when the displayed text will be the same as the title of the article you are linking to.

=== Parameters ===

; <code>1=</code>

This parameter takes one or two unnamed parameters.

: Full name of the article on Wikipedia.

; <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code> (required)

: Full name of the article on Wikipedia. If omitted the template will simply link to the English Wikipedia's cover page.

; <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki></code> (optional)

: Text to be displayed.

; <code>2=</code>

; <code><nowiki>{{{s}}}</nowiki></code> (optional)

: ~~Alternative name of~~ the ~~link~~.

: A named parameter used to specify namespaces on Wikipedia such as <code>wp</code> (Wikipedia project pages), <code>help</code> (help pages), and <code>module</code> (Lua modules).

: Other Wikimedia Foundation projects can also be linked, such as <code>wikt</code> (Wiktionary) or <code>meta</code> (Wikimedia's meta-wiki).

: Non-English languages can also be linked using {{w|ISO 639-1}} abbreviations, such as <code>fr</code> for French and <code>es</code> for Spanish.

: These can be combined; for example, <code><nowiki>{{wlink|Vandalisme|s=fr:wp}}</nowiki></code> is equivalent to <code><nowiki>[[wikipedia:fr:wp:Vandalisme|Vandalisme]]</nowiki></code> and will link to the {{wlink|Vandalisme|French Wikipedia's policy page on vandalism|s=fr:wp}}.
