[{{{url}}}]
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]This template creates a local or interwiki link (such as a link to the history of a page) without having the 
icon following 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.
Notes
You can use the {{fullurl}} magic word to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.
This template is not suitable for genuinely external links, since it suppresses the external link icon (
); for external links, use {{URL}}
Examples
- No link text:
{{Plain link|url=https://www.wikipedia.org}}→ [1] - Link text provided with space:
{{Plain link|https://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia}}→ Wikipedia - Link text provided as separate parameter:
{{Plain link|https://www.wikipedia.org | Wikipedia}}→ Wikipedia - Non-Wikipedia link:
{{Plain link|https://wiktionary.org|Wiktionary}}→ Wiktionary - Hover text (tooltip):
{{Plain link|https://wiktionary.org|Wiktionary|title=Wiktionary, the free dictionary}}→ Wiktionary
Note that if your url or link title contains an equals sign = you must use named parameters:
{{Plain link|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|name="=" }}→ “=”
Redirects
To be more concise, you can use {{scp}} or {{plnk}} and numbers as parameter names, e.g.:
{{scp|1=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}gives the same “=”{{plnk|1=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Equals_sign&oldid=282228764|2="="}}gives the same “=”
