Template:Wlink/doc

Normally, if you want to link to a Wikipedia article such as just intonation, you have to write the entire title twice ([[Wikipedia:Just intonation|Just intonation]]), 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.

Note: You can use {{w}} as a shortcut.

Parameters

This parameter takes one or two unnamed parameters.

{{{1}}} (required)

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

{{{2}}} (optional)

Alternative name of the link, or the text to be displayed.

{{{s}}} (optional)

A named parameter used to specify namespaces on Wikipedia such as wp (Wikipedia project pages), help (help pages), module (Lua modules), and so on.

It can also be used for non-English languages (using ISO 639-1 abbreviations); for example, fr for French and es for Spanish.

The two can be combined; for example, {{wlink|Vandalisme|s=fr:wp}} links to the French Wikipedia's article on vandalism. In this case, always put the language first, then the project namespace.
