 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Plain link. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 159,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
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#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}}
Examples
{{Plain link|url=//www.wikipedia.org}}gives [1]{{Plain link|//www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}}gives Wikipedia{{Plain link|//www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}}gives Wikipedia{{Plain link|http://www.google.co.uk|Google}}gives Google
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 "="
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 "="
