This template will allow you to create a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) on a page without having the follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See Help:URL#URLs on_other Wikimedia projects for more information.

Examples

• {{Plain link|url=http://www.wikipedia.org}} gives Template:Plain link
• {{Plain link|http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}} gives Template:Plain link
• {{Plain link|http://www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}} gives Template:Plain link

Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:

• {{ Plainlink | url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764 | name="=" }} gives Template:Plain link
