New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

<code>{{tlx|Special|Page|Name|Value|Title}}</code> creates a plain link for <code><nowiki>[{{fullurl:Special:Page|Name=Value}} Title]</nowiki></code>.{{-}}
The link has in essence the same effect as <code>[<span class="plainlinks">https:{{SERVER}}/wiki/Special:Page?Name=Value</span> Title]</code>.

The default for the optional <code>Title</code> is the localized name of the <code>Page</code>, i.e., <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}</nowiki></code>.  Examples:

* <code>{{tlx|Special|PrefixIndex{{!}}namespace{{!}}1{{!}}Talk}}</code> yields {{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1|Talk}}
* <code>{{tlx|Special|PrefixIndex{{!}}namespace{{!}}1}}</code> yields {{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1}}
* <code>{{tlx|Special|PrefixIndex/<nowiki>{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}</nowiki>/{{!}}stripprefix{{!}}1{{!}}subpages}}</code> yields {{Special|PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}/|stripprefix|1|subpages}}
* <code>{{tlx|Special|Log{{!}}user{{!}}3=WMFOffice&amp;type=rights{{!}}4=official}}</code> yields {{Special|Log|user|3=WMFOffice&type=rights|4=official}}

Omitting <code>Name=Value</code> might '''seem to''' work, but actually this is not supported, e.g., <code>{{tlx|Special|Mypage}}</code> yields {{Special|Mypage}}.

You can use <code><nowiki>[[Special:Page|{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}]]</nowiki></code> where <code>Name=Value</code> is not needed.  On [[Project:About|{{ns:4}}]] the localized name of [[Special:Mypage|Mypage]] is the default <code>{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Mypage}}}}</code> (note camel case), and you can simply write <code><nowiki>[[Special:Mypage|]]</nowiki></code>.  If a template is also used on Wikis with localized names the longer form with <code>[[mw:Help:Magic_words#Miscellaneous|<nowiki>{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}</nowiki>]]</code> might be better.  <small style="white-space:nowrap">Also see [[c:Template:Special|c:]], [[d:Template:Special|d:]], [[m:Template:Special|m:]], [[mw:Template:Special|mw:]], [[w:de:Template:Special|w:de:]].</small>
