Documentation for සැකිල්ල:w. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template is for having shorter links to an English Wikipedia article when the link is identical to its label. It takes the following parameters:

  • |1= (required) – the page title on Wikipedia to which you wish to link
  • |2= – the text that the template displays. Default is the value entered in |1=
  • |lang= – the ISO language code of the target Wikipedia. Default is en, for English.

A similar effect can be accomplished using the pipe trick: [[w:Chicken|]] is converted to [[w:Chicken|Chicken]] during the pre-save transform, which renders as Chicken. Only one interwiki prefix can be stripped in this way. [[w:fr:Académie française|]] transforms to [[w:fr:Académie française|fr:Académie française]].

See also Template:wikipedia, which inserts a box with a link to the Wikipedia article, and has no required parameters.

Because of its simplicity, the template can be substituted using subst:

  • {{subst:w|William Shakespeare|Shakespeare}} gives: [[w:William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]

However, substituting {{subst:w|The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire}} gives an unwieldy duplication of content the template is here to avoid in the first place: [[w:The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire|The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire]]
