Template talk:H:ml

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Multiple Links

Template:ml (talk, backlinks, edit) redirects to Template:h:ml (talk, backlinks, edit). For the prefix "H:", see m:Help:MediaWiki help policy#Templateshttp://meta.wikimedia.org../../../m/e/d/Help%7EMediaWiki_help_policy_7efa.html#Templates; it is used on help pages for compatibilty across sites without name conflicts; on other pages it is not needed.

This template produces a link in internal link style and also a "hidden external link", to allow it to be found by Linksearchhttp://en.wikipedia.org../../../l/i/n/Help%7ELinksearch_6505.html, which, unlike Special:Whatlinksherehttp://en.wikipedia.org../../../w/h/a/Special%7EWhatlinkshere_6633.html, is specific for the target section. Therefore it is especially useful for linking to a section or other anchor.

Usage:

• {{ ml | target_page | anchor_name | optional_label }}

In most cases the anchor used is the automatically created one at the top of a section, with a name equal to that of the section. Do not put "#" at the start of the anchor name.

Examples of links to a section (the main application of this template):

• {{ ml|Help:Link|Section linking (anchors)}} gives Help:Link#Section linking (anchors)http://en.wikipedia.org../../../l/i/n/Help%7ELink_69e5.html#Section_linking_.28anchors.29
• {{ ml|Help:Link|Section linking (anchors)|section link}} gives section linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org../../../l/i/n/Help%7ELink_69e5.html#Section_linking_.28anchors.29

Examples of links simply to the top of the page:

• {{ ml|Help:Link}} gives Help:Linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org../../../l/i/n/Help%7ELink_69e5.html
• {{ ml|Help:Link||link}} gives linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org../../../l/i/n/Help%7ELink_69e5.html

• Linksearch with target page Help:Link - gives pairs of source page and full target
• Linksearch with as target the sections of Help:Link starting with "S" - ditto

Compare:

• Special:Whatlinkshere/Help:Link - no indication of, or selection by, target section
