* Do not use a leading colon for <code>Category</code> or <code>File</code> namespaces.

This template, and other related templates listed below, produce a series of links for a particular page, generally in the form: Name of Page (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) though there are variations.

The six links are explained below:
editedit the page;
talk – access its talk page ;
history – access its edit history;
links – access the what links here feature;
watch – add the page to one's watchlist; and
log – access its logs.

The major difference between the templates is the namespace of the page to which it is applied.

Usage

Namespace Link to subject page Link to talk page
General {{pagelinks|FULL PAGE NAME}}
