Template:Plain link

[{{{url}}} ]

Usage

This template allows you to create a local or interwiki link on a page without having the arrow symbol follow the link.

Examples

• {{Plain link |url=//www.wikipedia.org}} gives [1]
• {{Plain link |//www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}} gives Wikipedia
• {{Plain link |http://www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}} gives Wikipedia

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.

If your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters or {{=}}:
