Template:Ln/doc

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:

edit – edit 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.

• General usage:
  • Template:Pagelinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for any page in any namespace.
  • Template:Ln (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
  • Template:Lnt (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for pages in any talk namespace.
• The primary link (i.e., the first one, which links directly to the page) includes &redirect=no, so these templates behave correctly for redirects. You must still use a namespace–appropriate template when linking redirects.
• Do not use a leading colon for Category or File namespaces.

Usage

Namespace	Link to subject page	Link to talk page
General	{{pagelinks|FULL PAGE NAME}}	Same as for subject page
	{{ln|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}	{{lnt|NAMESPACE|PAGE NAME}}
Article	{{la|ARTICLE}}	{{lat|ARTICLE}}
Template	{{lt|TEMPLATE}}	{{ltt|TEMPLATE}}
Wikipedia	{{lw|PAGE}}	{{lwt|PAGE}}
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/	{{lafd|PAGE}}	—
User	{{lu|PAGE}}	{{lut|PAGE}}

Examples

{{subst:ln|Category|Stubs}} results (or resulted) in this code:

{{lx|1={{ucfirst:Category}}:|2={{ucfirst:Stubs}}|3=:Category talk|4=talk}}

Substituting both Lx and Ucfirst finally arrived at (line breaks added manually):

 <span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[{{fullurl:Category:Stubs|redirect=no}} Category:Stubs] <tt>(</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Category:Stubs|action=edit}} edit]<tt>|</tt>
 [[:Category talk:Stubs|talk]]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/:Category:Stubs|limit=999}} links]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Category:Stubs|action=history}} history]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Category:Stubs|action=watch}} watch]<tt>)</tt></span>

Category:Stubs ( edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
