Template:Sec link/normal link/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Sec link/normal link.
It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used in system messages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes at the talk page before implementing them.

This is the {{sec link/normal link}} sub-template.

Do not use this template directly, use {{sec link}} or {{sec link auto}} and their sister templates instead.

This template is called from the {{sec link}} family of templates.

Technical details

This sub-template returns a raw (without the double brackets) normal wikilink for the normal servers . It expects these parameters:

{{sec link/normal link
| project = 
| pagename = 
| lang = 
| anchor = 
}}

This template can't handle query parameters.

And it currently can't be used for linked images, since the anchors break there.

But we use it for the other cases in {{sec link auto}}, since we want to use normal wikilinks for the local links so "what links here" works.

For more documentation see {{sec link auto}}.
