-A simple template for linking to particular articles at WP without making what appear to be blue links.  May need slight text tweaking.
+=== Usage ===
+This is a template for in-text linking to Wikipedia '''in articles''', as using a piped link with the <nowiki>[[wp:]]</nowiki> prefix creates a link that is hard to distinguish from an internal link and may confuse the reader. It's not necessary to use the template on discussion pages, because there the wp: prefix doesn't have to be hidden.
-*Parameter 1 = exact wikipedia title
+Like the other Wikipedia templates, it's best to use this template sparingly.
-*Parameter 2 = preferred text (optional)
-Example:
+If the name of the Wikipedia article is the same as the desired text of the link, use just
+ <nowiki>{{wpl|name of Wikipedia article}}</nowiki>
-<nowiki>{{wpa|clueless}}</nowiki>
+If you want to put some other text in the link or format it in some special way, you need to pass it as the second parameter:
+ <nowiki>{{wpl|name of Wikipedia article|''alternative'' text}}</nowiki>
-yields:
+To avoid leaving a large space before a punctuation sign, leave the second parameter blank and use the punctuation sign as a third parameter. For example:
+ <nowiki>{{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}</nowiki>
+results in {{wpl|Conservapedia||,}}
-{{wpa|clueless}}
+The image used in this template is [[:File:Wikipedia's W.svg]].
-and
+=== See also ===
+* [[Template:Red2wp]], for a link that is either an internal link to a RW page, or link to Wikipedia if no such page exists.
-<nowiki>{{wpa|clueless|idiots}}</nowiki>
+* [[Template:W]], for linking to particular articles at Wikipedia without footnotes.
+* [[Template:Wpa]], for a handy way of including links to Wikipedia in footnotes.
-{{wpa|clueless|idiots}}
+* [[Template:Wplang]], for an experimental template for non-English Wikipedia articles.
+* [[Template:Wplnologo]], for links to Wikipedia without showing the Wikipedia icon next to the link.
+* [[Template:Wpr]], for in-text linking to Wikipedia in articles, but *also* creates a (presumably red) link to indicate this probably ought to exist on RW.
