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 follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links.

Examples edit

  • {{plain link|url=http://www.wikibooks.org}} gives [1]
  • {{plain link|http://www.wikibooks.org Wikibooks}} gives Wikibooks
  • {{plain link|http://www.wikibooks.org | Wikibooks}} gives Wikibooks

Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:

  • {{plainlink | url=http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764 | name="=" }} gives "="
