Template:Format link
Page Module:Documentation/styles.css has no content.
Script error: No such module "High-use". Lua error in Module:Lua_banner at line 113: attempt to index field 'edit' (a nil value).
This template formats a link for use in hatnote templates. It accepts up to three positional parameters, the link, an optional display value, and an optional target override (which if provided, makes the link parameter optional). These parameters may also be supplied by name, as link, display, and target respectively. Links to categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
Usage
Link only:
Link plus display:
Link with an italicized page name:
Link with an italicized section name:
If the link or display values contain an equals sign, you will need to specify the parameter names like this:
Link with a target override:
Link with parameters supplied by name:
URL formatting:
This template replaces any underscores with spaces and decodes any URL parts in Template:Tl's output. For example:
{{format linkr|People_of_the_Philippines_v._Santos,_Ressa_and_Rappler#Santos_Jr.'s_article|italicizepage=y}}
|nud= (no URL decode) can be added to disable URL decoding but still get underscores replaced:
{{format linkr|%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E6%97%A5%E8%A8%98#M%61_nga|nud=y}}
