Template:Plain link/doc

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 external link icon follow the link. This can be used, for example, when internal or interwiki links appear as external links. See Wikipedia:WP:URL for more information.

Caution
When you link to a Wikipedia or other Wikimedia project URL, omit the preceding "http:", or "https:", so that the URL begins with "//". This allows users to use the protocol they're currently using.

You can use  magicword to generate URLs to Wikipedia pages.

Examples

 * gives
 * gives
 * gives
 * gives

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