Template:Links-core/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Links-core.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template is not intended to be used directly. It contains the complex programming for custom link templates which can selectively show relevant links. For example, {{links-core||template|foo|talk=1}} will only output a link to the talk page.

The syntax is:

{{links-core|interwiki prefix (blank for current wiki)|namespace|page name|named option}}

Referring to the table of options below, a new links template can be created by adding "1" (or any value) beside the desired link options.

{{links-core
 |1 = {{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{1|}}}}}
 |2 = {{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{2|template}}}|{{{1|template}}}}}
 |3 = {{#if:{{{3|}}}|{{{3|foo}}}|{{{2|foo}}}}}
 |link          =
 |talk          =
 |edit          =
 |watch         = 
 |history       =
 |whatlinkshere = 
 |logs          =
 |localspace    =
 |delete        =
 |contribs      =
 |block         =
}}

The following link options are possible:
