Template:Special

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Special|Page|Name|Value|Title}} creates a plain link for [{{fullurl:Special:Page|Name=Value}} Title].

The link has in essence the same effect as [https:https://moasspedia.org/wiki/Special:Page?Name=Value Title].

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

• {{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1|Talk}} yields Talk
• {{Special|PrefixIndex|namespace|1}} yields PrefixIndex
• {{Special|PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}/|stripprefix|1|subpages}} yields subpages
• {{Special|Log|user|3=WMFOffice&type=rights|4=official}} yields official

Omitting Name=Value might seem to work, but actually this is not supported, e.g., {{Special|Mypage}} yields MyPage.

You can use [[Special:Page|{{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}}]] where Name=Value is not needed.  On MOASSpedia the localized name of Mypage is the default MyPage (note camel case), and you can simply write [[Special:Mypage|]].  If a template is also used on Wikis with localized names the longer form with {{PAGENAME:{{#special:Page}}}} might be better.  Also see c:, d:, m:, mw:, w:de:.
