Template:Pagelinks

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

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:

Page (edit talk history links watch logs)

The six links are:

edit – edit the page;

talk – access its talk 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.
- Template:Lt creates links for pages in any subject namespace.
- Template:Lt creates links for pages in any talk namespace.

{{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>
 [//test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Stubs&action=edit edit]<tt>|</tt>
 [[:Category talk:Stubs|talk]]<tt>|</tt>
 [//test2.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/:Category:Stubs&limit=999 links]<tt>|</tt>
