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

This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason.

About

This template and the other related templates listed below produce a series of links for a specified page that is generally, though not always, of the form:

The six links are:

edit – edit the page;

talk/subject – access its talk page (or if the target page is a talk page, its subject page);

history – access its edit history;

links – access the what links here feature;

watch – add the page to one's watchlist; and

log – access its logs.

The major difference between the templates is the namespace of the page to which it is applied.

General:
- Template:Pagelinks (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) creates links for any page in any namespace.

Usage

Namespace	Link to subject page	Link to talk page
General	{{pagelinks\|FULL PAGE NAME}}	Same as for subject page
Article	{{la\|ARTICLE}}	{{lat\|ARTICLE}}
Template	{{lt\|TEMPLATE}}	{{ltt\|TEMPLATE}}
Category	{{lc\|PAGE}}	{{lct\|PAGE}}
Module	{{lmd\|MODULE}}	{{lmdt\|MODULE}}

Examples

Code	Result
{{pagelinks\|Category:Stubs}}	(change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)
{{pagelinks\|Category talk:Stubs}}	Category talk:Stubs (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)
{{la\|Article}}	Article (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)
{{lt\|Deprecated template}}	Template:Deprecated template (edit \| talk \| history \| links \| watch \| logs)
{{lc\|Stubs}}	Stubs (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

{{subst:ln|Category|Stubs}} results (or resulted) in this code:

{{lx|1=:{{ucfirst:Category}}:|2={{ucfirst:Stubs}}|3=:Category talk|4=talk}}

Note the important colon in 1=:, unnecessary (?) for other Lx namespaces.
Substituting both Lx and Ucfirst finally arrived at (line breaks added manually):

 <span class="plainlinksneverexpand">[[:Category:Stubs]] <tt>(</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=edit}} edit]<tt>|</tt>
 [[:Category talk:Stubs|talk]]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl:Special:Whatlinkshere/:Category:Stubs|limit=999}} links]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=history}} history]<tt>|</tt>
 [{{fullurl::Category:Stubs|action=watch}} watch]<tt>)</tt></span>
