Template:Plain link/doc

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. See Help:URL for more information.

Caution
When you link to a Wikipedia or other Wikimedia project URL, omit the preceding "http:", or "https:", so that the URL begins with "//". This allows users to use the protocol they're currently using.

You can use magicword to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.

Also this template is not suitable for external links, since it suppresses displaying the exeternal link small icon ; for external links, use URL

Examples

 * gives
 * gives
 * gives
 * gives

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

Redirects
To be more concise, you can use  or   and numbers as parameter names, e.g.:
 * gives the same
 * gives the same
