Template documentation

Goal

This template can be used for links to MediaWiki wiki pages.

Usage

{{mediawiki|page title|alternative text|lang=|oldid=|diff=}}

All parameters are optional.

page title

Page title to link to. Defaults to Main Page.

alternative text

Alternative text to be shown instead of the page title. Note that if this parameter is not given, mw: will be appended to the page name.

lang

Language code to link to another language version than the English one. The language will not be shown (currently not implemented), but the page title might give a hint.

oldid

Oldid from the end of the MediaWiki wiki permalink URL to use when linking to a specific article revision. Can be found through the page history.

diff

If not empty a link to a diff comparing the oldid revision with the previous revision will be shown. Instead of a regular link and a permalink a permalink and a link to a diff will be shown.
