Template:Plain link/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Plain link
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

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

{{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 "="
