Template documentation[view][edit][history][purge]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Plain link/doc. Changes can be proposed in the talk page.

Template:Plain link is imported from link Template:Plain link on Wikipedia.

This template is imported from the English Wikipedia. Although the visual appearance might be different, the functionality is identical. Please refer to the Wikipedia page for detailed documentation.

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=//coasterpedia.net}} gives [1]
• {{Plain link |//coasterpedia.net Coasterpedia}} gives Coasterpedia
• {{Plain link |http://coasterpedia.net | Coasterpedia}} gives Coasterpedia

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.

TemplateData

Use this template to add a local or interwiki link that would otherwise show a box and arrow icon next to the link without the icon.
