Template:Linkstart/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Used to separate a single internal link into two or more internal links when a template automatically makes a single internal link from an input, by making it so that [[ is not immediately interpreted as starting a new internal link.

To use, place ]] after the end of the first item meant to be a link, and insert this instead of [[ before the final item which you wish to turn into a link.

Examples

With Template:Format link you get:
{{format link|Lion}}[[Lion]]Lion


If, for whatever reason you wanted to make two links with that template, and you were to use:
{{format link|Lion]], [[Tiger}}
You would end up breaking the code.


By using this template you can do:
{{format link|Lion]], {{linkstart}}Tiger}}Lion, Tiger
And make both "Lion" and "Tiger" separate links.


You could also insert linked items before this template, for example you can do this:
{{format link|Lion]], [[Tiger]], {{linkstart}}Bird}}Lion, Tiger, Bird
And make "Lion", "Tiger", and "Bird" all separate links.
