Template:Linked-title

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Linked-title

This is wikimagic to prevent a common problem whereby:-

  • Dates need to be formatted as links to display according to user preferences.
  • However self links are discouraged in general.
  • Therefore many robots delink self links.
  • This means that on pages dealing with dates all dates are formatted according to user preferences except the date that is also the title of the page.
  • Other ways of preventing this from being delinked by robots have failed as they have become "smarter".
