Template:W/doc
Use[change source]
- Use the normal syntax of
[[Page name]]or[[Page name|displayed text]]whenever possible. - Interwiki links are welcome. Many times there is no page in the Simple English Wikipedia page (yet), but there is already a page in the “complex” English Wikipedia.
- If it is really necessary, you can use this template. It uses uses the “expensive parser function”
#ifexist:. - If the target page does not exist in the Simple English page (yet), the “complex” English Wikipedia is automatically linked. Important: The link is always a blue link, even if there is no page in the “complex” English Wikipedia. (→ Did you make a spelling mistake?)
- First argument is the target page’s name.
- Second optional argument is the displayed target name. If omitted, the first argument is the displayed text.
- Example:
{{w|Main Page|Start here}}makes[[Main Page|Start here]]. - Example: On December 16, 2022,
{{w|Presseabteilung}}makes[[:en:Presseabteilung|Presseabteilung]], because (as of December 16, 2022) there is no Simple English Wikipedia page named Presseabteilung. - Usage of
#ifexist:is intentional so the target page appears on the wanted pages list. However, there is no red link on the page where you use this template.
