Template:Format link/doc

This template formats a link for use in hatnote templates. It accepts two positional parameters, the link, and an optional display value. Links to categories and files are automatically escaped with the colon trick, and links to sections are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.

Usage

Link only

{{format hatnote link|link}}

Link plus display

{{format hatnote link|link|display}}

If the link or display values contain an equals sign, you will need to specify the parameter names like this:

{{format hatnote link|1=link|2=display}}

Examples

• {{format hatnote link|Lion}} → [[Lion]] →
• {{format hatnote link|Lion#Etymology}} → [[Lion#Etymology|Lion § Etymology]] →
• {{format hatnote link|Category:Lions}} → [[:Category:Lions]] →
• {{format hatnote link|Lion#Etymology|Etymology of lion}} → [[Lion#Etymology|Etymology of lion]] →
