- Purpose of Template:Plain link (edit talk links history)
- Create a 'Pretty-Print' external url link inside text.
- 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 [" Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127 "] follow the link.
- This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links.
- See Help:URL#URLs on_other Wikimedia projects for more information.
Caution
You can use [MW magicword] to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.
Pass parameters
Arguments or 'positional/default pass parameters' are separated by the pipe character in Wiki markup language, so the first default parameter (placeholder is {{{1}}}) is assigned the link url address. The second ( {{{2}}}) is the 'pretty text' for how you want to have it appear.
- '|1=' is the same as '| url = ' (or in wiki template code: {{{1}}} = {{{url}}})
- '|2=' is the same as '|name=' (or in wiki template code: {{{2}}} = {{name}}})
Examples
{{Plain link|http://www.google.co.uk|Google}}givesGoogle
- compare normal external wiki-link:
[http://www.google.co.uk Google]givesGoogle
Caution on url insides
Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:
{{ Plainlink | url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764 | name="this edit" }}gives "this edit"
