Template

 Wikipedia

Motivation

This template is thought to replace all links to the English Wikipedia. This makes it more easy to control external links in our Wiki.

See WikiProjects.Links.

Syntax

{{wiki|*page name in the English Wikipedia*|*link text*}}

Note that neither parameter is necessary. If the second one misses, the linked to page title is used as link name, if both miss however, the template creates a link to the English Wikipedia. If only the first one misses, the second one can be used to precise a different name for the link to the English Wikipedia.

Examples

{{w|Shareaza|Shareazas Wikipedia article}}
{{w|Shareaza}}
{{w|2=Wiki}}
{{w}}

Note that the template corrects the text for use in URLs, which means that for example, URI scheme will become URI_scheme. However, this beaks some links, for example if a '/' is included, it will be transformed into /. Example:

{{w|URI scheme}}

In the case the template breaks a link, use the parameter called destination in the following way:

{{w|destination = April Fools' Day}}
{{w|destination = April Fools' Day|2=hello}}

Note that in case this parameter is used, the parameter {{{1}}} is ignored when used.
