link

link(page, [display], [noBacklink])

Parameters

page
The link target. Can be the name of a page on the wiki or an external URL.

When true, renders an internal link such that it does not register on the Special:WhatLinksHere of the target page.
Use only when certain that the page exists. This method cannot render red-links (i.e. distinguish non-existent pages).

Returns

A string of wikitext that evaluates to a link. Will display a red link if the target is an internal link to a page that doesn't exist.

Examples

#	Input	Output	Result
Internal link
33	link("Princess Zelda")	"[[Princess Zelda]]"	Princess Zelda
Piped link
34	link("Princess Zelda", "Zelda")	"[[Princess Zelda\|Zelda]]"	Zelda

40	link("Princess Zelda", "Zelda", true)	'<span class="plainlinks">[https://zelda.fandom.com/Princess_Zelda Zelda]</span>'	Zelda
When `noBacklink` is set to `true`, red links are not rendered for pages which do not exist, for performance reasons.
41	link("Flippityfloppityfloo", nil, true)	'<span class="plainlinks">[https://zelda.fandom.com/Flippityfloppityfloo Flippityfloppityfloo]</span>'	Flippityfloppityfloo
