follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See Help:URL#URLs on other Wikimedia projects 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 {{fullurl}} 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}}

Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:
{{Plain link|url=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|name="=" }}gives "="
Redirects
To be more concise, you can use {{scp}} or {{plnk}} and numbers as parameter names, e.g.:
{{scp|1=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}gives the same "="{{plnk|1=//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}gives the same "="
